Moxie also talks about this dynamic in his critique of NFTs. The logic kinda goes like this: (Step One) People create Federated Services to establish fault tolerant internet infrastructure which more-or-less works. (Step Two) People then build agile Centralized Services which give users exactly what they want. (Step 3) People then attempt to build new, robust Federated Services in an attempt to copy the good features of the Centralized Services. The argument says that the last step of copying the Centralized Services is a fool's errand, and it makes more sense to build better Centralized Services through (Step 2 + SGX) specialized hardware. Time and again Moxie has decided to build the better Centralized Services by leveraging Intel's SGX enclaves (the specialized hardware). Both Signal and MobileCoin rely entirely on these SGX enclaves. Since I don't trust the enclaves, my hope is for Step 3. edit that said, I do use signal everyday and I think mobilecoin is neat.
