hence the italics lol. at least in bitcoin's case, power cant be consolidated via money hoarding
that certainly changes the dynamic between company and consumer, in a much healthier way imo
If you're saying nothing centralized can be (or at least remain) honest or grounded, try thinking beyond fiatville, or about everyone in the world that would love to create something and stamp their own name on it. Own it. Profit from it. Nothing wrong with that.
