>You know why I would prefer a decentralized trustful solution like OpenBazaar? Because eBay bends me over with fees. In fact, they double dip. And there's nothing I can do about it. This is a problem a trust-less system wouldn't solve, inherently. The real problem is ebay lacks competition. >It's not about illegal use cases. It's about empowerment of the individual over seemingly insurmountable institutions. Again competition. You want people to have the power to compete, and have options. >The author is having the wrong discussion. Yes you are. None of the problems you listed are solve by decentralized trustless systems. Their consumer service problems. Which any company, or system can have. :.:.: Ultimately you commit the same sins you argue the blog post commits.
