Thank you for your comment @closetjean.

You are 1000% correct how technological advancements were slowed down by being under the watchful eye of corporations. The fact we are seeing such a move to decentralization means that innovation will explode. Humanity fell behind the last 20 years when it should have been moving ahead. It is now time to play catch up to the innovation curve.

Blockchain cannot be slowed down by anything because it is really the Internet (as explained in the post I just put up) that is doing it and the Internet operates at an accelerated pace when it is put into motion.
