🔵 [Analysis] Centralized apps atop decentralized protocols expanded – Chris Burniske

Chris argues that while “self-sovereignty” is the end-game, we have to acknowledge that what we want as the early builders of crypto is bound to differ from what the majority will want (convenience). Centralized interfaces, get around this by only partially relying on decentralized protocols, and then filling-in the infrastructure gaps with centralized resources. “Decentralized interfaces” in crypto are in a similar stage as web app builders in the 90s. Some infrastructure and tools are there, but it requires a lot of filling in the gaps. Long term, respecting user’s will be something that society demands, and citizens viscerally understand the importance of, but chances are they will still want sovereignty and continued convenience.
