Another thing:
The built-in delegation mechanism enables the liquid staking solutions to use the existing validator set, and since staking is risk-free (no slashing), subjective curation is not/less needed.
Obviously, the liquid stakers still need to trust that solution.

For example, Chia separates block production from pooling and uses an already decentralized resource as a sybil control mechanism. The result is astonishing.

If you ask a BTC maxi to point out the centralization in Ethereum he will give you an autistic answer that doesn't resonate with normies.
This will change after the merge.
Months ago:
$ETH will be ultrasound money and Ethereum will the be the settlement layer of crypto. No one can stop the flippening 🚀🚀
Now:
pls put X 🏴 in your display name to protect ethereum

For many years, ETH clowns like @apolynya claimed that tech doesn't matter, new L1s are a waste of time, ..etc
Now they have to beg CEOs on Twitter to not censor their chain because their tech is garbage.
@technocrypto You also have the "problem" in PoS that the address by which you fund your stake can be doxxed retroactively and there's a permanent on-chain record of what you did with your signature. As a hasher in some mining pool, it's off-chain (noted, I'm conflating some concepts here)
Privacy at the base layer create other problems (arguably worse).
It's possible for a protocol to be censorship-resistant without having base layer privacy.

Welcome to "censorship-resistance" when you don't have default base layer privacy 🙃
If miners can see what a transaction is (especially if it's opting into privacy) expect this sooner rather than later.
And yes, this is a huge potential threat to #Bitcoin as well.
Avalanche scales to tens thousands of validators, finalizes immediately and has some feature that mitigate centralization from liquid staking.

@HuobiGlobal Huobi continued to sell HUSD high-yield products until recently, despite knowing that the issuer was experiencing liquidity problems. Crypto's Moral Hazard.

A couple of month ago I contacted @TheBlock__ and other crypto news sites to investigate Huobi for insolvency after they froze $USDP (Paxos USD) for bogus reasons, but of course there was no response.

We are aware of the current liquidity issues associated with the HUSD stablecoin, which is issued by Stable Universal Limited and built on the Ethereum network.
@TheBlock__ $USDP eventually got unfrozen after a month. My guess is they were using user funds to buy more time. Now it looks like they decided to sacrifice $HUSD to save the exchange.
