twizzay on Nostr: I understand the desire to decentralize ownership of stuff. That part is the part ...
I understand the desire to decentralize ownership of stuff. That part is the part that makes the most sense to me. However, I am not convinced that crypto is doing that... In fact, I think crypto is actually faking decentralization.
I would love to be proven wrong.
I'll use bitcoin as an example, since that is what seems to make nostr so popular.
1. 60%-70% of the Bitcoin blockchain is run on computers in China.
2. 1k clusters own 2 million BTC.
3. 10k clusters own 4 million BTC.
This to me sounds like not decentralization.
