The Blockchain paradox
- It's decentralized, but relays or nodes are unaffordable for average individuals, so it ends up being somehow concentrated.
- It's based on implicit trust by signature, but users feel free and anonymous.
- Value is transferred directly between individuals, but it remains on a common ledger.
- There's complete transparency of what is transferred, and at the same time a considerable opacity of who is in charge.
- It's a volatile value, but holders feel like it's safer than most traditional values.
- There are practically no trolls in a medium with no central censorship!
