Hot take :

I’m still surprised so many people on CT believe credible neutrality and decentralization are what’s going to win

What are the two biggest wins of this past cycle ?

- Solana : doesn’t focus on decentralization and is heavily centralized at some points

- Hyperliquid : went live with like 8 validators lol

Why did they succeed ? Because they answered real demand
Fast transactions/fast execution
That’s what 99.9% of users want, 0.01% actually care about decentralization credible neutrality etc

That’s why I think a lot of OGs are going to be sidelined in the coming years imo
This ecosystem is not moving closer to cypherpunk values but further away

Look at Fogo no one even cared that it’s live with 7 validators lmao, 4 years ago that alone would have been a complete drama

I know it’s disappointing especially if you came into crypto when those things mattered but that’s the reality check
