“The real answer is going to be fundamentally different architecture, it is going to be true decentralization. We are not there yet and most people are not beginning to wrap their head around what that means and how that looks.”
I usually agree with you, and this is no exception. We are not there yet, although there are useful and well-tested decentralized solutions, and your host mentioned an amazing example about how to decentralized the social network of a small family.
We are not there yet because the technical solutions that can materialize the paradigm shift you aspire are facing an adoption problem. This problem will not be solved until some activists start adopting some of the decentralized solutions that like minded hackers have built.
Those technical solutions are the tools, the weapons, of decentralization. Hackers like me have been building and using these tools against centralization for years. Are the activists who talk about decentralization interested in testing these tools, and get an idea about what decentralization is and how it looks?
I thought centralized censorship should lead to a wave of decentralization. I was wrong, it leads to a wave of re-centraliztion, so that censorship can be monetized. Which makes me wonder: #QFC: Is there a real market for decentralization?
