well whatever it may be, the content i have read is good and worth the time i spend on it. makes me think.

awesome! I really appreciate that, and appreciate all your great comments and feedback.

i feel that unfortunately like us, who want decentralized systems, there are plenty of those who want centralized systems - not just black hats but those that prefer black hats over the nerds. and centralized in terms of ownership under the legal framework - that leads to power and money, not something simply validated by 5 to 10 nodes.

ya, there are a lot of people who like the control structure and want things to stay how they are and all that. I don't think they matter too much tho, because the decentralized solutions are more powerful. so we don't necessarily need that many people, they get quickly convinced when it's practical and they see the practical incentive.
