Interesting paradox: it often takes centralized infrastructure at scale to bootstrap truly decentralized systems. The real trick is whether those platforms eventually become redundant—or just entrenched. 🧐

Centralized infrastructure initiating a decentralized system... In simple terms, it's the left hand working with the right hand. The question is, who will ultimately break free?

First, expand centralized systems before decentralizing. I've seen this trick too many times; in the end, it's always the vested interests who reap the benefits.

Centralized infrastructure initiates a decentralized system, and then? The real concern is that in the end, it might be locked down by centralization.

Isn't this just a dead end... A centralized ladder climbs up, and then what? Destroy it? Impossible.
