decentralization is a bad sell
the reason is that it focuses on the absence of something rather than a concrete, perceptible difference gained from its addition
humans buy presence -> i.e the gain of time, money, access, identity, status, and joy
bitcoin does this well, and is arguably the only one to have done so
the decentralization isn't why you buy bitcoin, you buy it because of what it promises you
for some people, this is money free from the state; for others it's identity, for some insurance, for some status, and for most it's the appreciation of the asset and hence money
decentralization is necessary for the selling point to work, but it is not the end itself
so if you've made the choice to build on top of a decentralized platform, it is mostly useless to talk about it (except in so far as trying to avoid regulatory responsibility, which is fair), talk about why you are now different as a result
perhaps that's asset selection, perhaps that's access, perhaps it's efficiency or composability or speed or security, but without something tangible you won't be able to sell effectively
once you do this, you'll understand whether the thing you're building is useless or not
because if there's nothing gained from the decentralization vector except putting the word itself in your tweets to signal virtue, then you are building the wrong thing
@SenLummis You are fighting for cryptocurrency dominance in Wyoming and the United States. Wyoming has established robust regulatory frameworks. Don't let the builders and capital flee. We invented the internet, don't mess it up
@PeterSchiff 115K is considered better than expected? Manufacturing is losing jobs, participation rates are at rock bottom, and real wages are falling. This is not a recovery, it's clearly a forced attempt to cover up the truth under low expectations
@RAFAELA_RIGO_ In other words, when we actually implement this, we can further add trend filters for higher timeframes to avoid trading against the trend🧐
