> run it fully decentralized.

and yet, such a thing is already possible - in fact there's plenty of choices. None of them have taken off for various reasons.

I really don't believe a decentralized system works as the network effect fails to achieve domination under such a system (aka, competition from centralized network will out-compete it).



I don't mean decentralized as in run by small communities. I mean decentralized as in not run in anyone's server... like how Dapps run on Etherium.


how does this change anything? The other day I saw this tweet from Kelsey Hightower, which I agree with, something like the tech might be decentralized but the power structure that the human tend to create around it will not be. Maybe it's just human nature to require SOME level of centralization, just look at our political system.


Why can't this community spell "Ethereum"?!
