Meanwhile, the claims on this website:
> Email became Gmail, usenet became reddit, blog replies became facebook and Medium, pingbacks became twitter, squid became Cloudflare, even gnutella became The Pirate Bay
While not even accurate, these centralized services became popular and synonymous with their underlyings due to convenience and benefits (eg gmail offering massive storage when it first rolled out; FB deploying its newsfeed which other social media platforms didn’t have at the time; etc)
> True decentralization, no official singular Foundation, Committee, Corporation, or entities in permanent unitary control of the protocol.
And what happens when something inevitably goes wrong without any kind of oversight? Who can course-correct if it has succumbed to say a 51% attack
> Economic incentives enable decentralized agreements to form via a transparent name auction process.
And so beholden to the same hyperfinancialization principles we see now—bid higher to get your blocks mined quicker. Not to mention the 700% spike in fees we saw not long ago.
Add in proof of work and you’ve now got potentially very long waiting times as well, further incentivizing the pay for speed mentality
