For those that say OpenSats is anti-decentralization answer this question.
Is wallet app X anti-decentralization?
Is bitcoin hodlr X anti-decentralization?
Is OpenSats anti-decentralization?
Is bitcoin investor X anti-decentralization?
Nothing OpenSats does makes it anti-decentralization. Its just that there are few orgs doing what they do.
Put another way. When there are only a few orgs/people doing something important that's not good. But the solution is more orgs/people competing with them. If a project is not picked by OpenSats that doesn't mean they can't be funded. It just means they have to be funded differently.
I am not saying OpenSats is decentralized. They aren't. But they also are doing good work from what I have seen. They aren't alone.
Ha, and you know what.... SN is centralized. Nostr is not. But I really like SN a lot.
I don't think all centralization is bad but OpenSats is just one entity like SN is one site. Nothing stops some other bitcoiner from starting a site like SN and trying to do it differently.
The centralization argument just falls flat with me.
