> Decentralization, in my opinion, is an inevitability. If the human race becomes multi-planetary and space-faring, we will need to be able to run independent nodes of services while keeping individual nodes honest and accurate. I think this is the most overlooked aspect of decentralization efforts. The conversation we've been having since the dawn of BTC quickly devolved into applying the legitimate criticisms of BTC specifically, to the concept of decentralization as a whole, instead of accepting that it was an experiment which proved "good enough" to scale without too much friction or technical failure. The concept has already evolved substantially in the past decade, and these experiments will continue to inform how we handle decentralization when it finally becomes critical to societal function, which is inevitable for the reasons you mentioned and more.
