Mistaking competence across multiple parties for orchestrated central planning is a classic symptom of shallow analysis. People often assume that any aligned behavior or coordinated outcomes must stem from some hidden cabal pulling strings behind the scenes.
But here's the thing: decentralized doesn't mean chaotic. Far from it. When you have the right incentive structures in place, participants naturally coordinate without needing a command center. That's literally the entire mechanic that powers open ecosystems in crypto.
Look at the scale—we're talking trillions flowing through markets where no single entity controls the rules. Yet it works. Not because of central planning, but because properly designed incentives align individual actions toward collective outcomes. That's the elegant power of it.

Haha, this is classic conspiracy theory thinking. Everything is just Satoshi Nakamoto pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Really, as soon as I see this kind of "conspiracy theory" rhetoric, I get annoyed... This guy is right, when the incentive mechanisms are aligned, coordination naturally happens, and there's no need for any behind-the-scenes manipulation.

This is exactly what I've been wanting to say, the conspiracy theory stuff is really annoying as hell.
