Do you think we're moving in a direction where more individuals feel empowered or compelled to run their own nodes, or mine (even at a small scale) themselves? Or is it inevitable that we see consolidation of those activities?
Does this question influence how you build products at River?
I think the majority of people will always want to trust institutions in some capacity, but at River we strive to create products that people aren't forced to trust and can always opt out of. Therefore we try to avoid things that trap people in River, we like to keep a big door in and a big door out, as that sets up the incentives for a healthy and trustworthy institution long-term.
