    Not a single person in the world other than turbo mega nerds like us will ever care about decentralised platforms, or even know what that means.

      That’s not true.

      All it takes are enough people getting burned by centralized products to see the value in decentralization.

      As businesses get greedier and run out of corners to cut, they will continue to cannibalize their userbase until it becomes irrelevant.

      I figure similar to educating people on how burning fossil fuels contribute to global warming, it will just take time and experience to educate people on the value of decentralization.

      The biggest hurdle is getting people to understand that they are wrong and don’t know everything.
