Maybe this sounds like a hot take, but centralised systems do have their uses. The real problem isnβt their structure. Itβs the people who run them with unchecked power and no accountability, and more importantly, we who let them.
I believe that growth has no true limit. Yet, sometimes, we must let things burn down to their roots to grow again stronger, to learn, to rebuild, to correct the mistakes weβve long ignored. But centralised systems are never allowed this cycle. Instead, when they fail, we patch them up with short-term fixes and bailouts, keeping the rot alive and leaving the burden to the next generation.
This madness is why so many have already chosen to step away, to decentralise themselves from the system. But if we fail to learn from history, even the decentralised world will one day face the same decay. Because no structure, no power, and no system, no matter how noble its origin, is truly incorruptible.
This is what I truly believe.
