RE: RE: The Grind For Decentralization

Yes, networks need to be secured by nodes and validators but exchanges don't. A simple token swap with a deposit/withdraw function that has theoretically unbreakable code does not need validators to exist, it needs a secure network to exist on.

I do not think Thorchain is unbiased, I think that every community and every project has a set of biases that are mostly positive but sometimes they can fuck things up.

Thorchain specifically has a bias towards a multichain world where atomic swaps are the standard and I love that idea but... The fact that a token exists implies that the token holders will always want to extract as much value as possible meaning that Thorchain will need to continue to grow and probably offer a lot more services than simple swaps.

For blockchains and communities like Hive this is a great thing but for something simple as a token swap this can lead to overcomplication of the product itself which may or may not impact the adoption of said product.

I'm not saying this is going to happen, just saying that is a possibility when greed starts driving innovation.

Maybe I'm overthinking it but the same thing happened to medical research and now we only develop cures that bring the most money in, not the ones that should be a moral priority.
