🥇 [Analysis] *Centralized* apps building atop decentralized protocols may be the winning combo – Chris Burniske

Centralized crypto apps that build upon decentralized protocols have:

  • Global capabilities from day one
  • Lower costs due to the on-demand and perfect-competition nature of protocol services
  • More rapid innovation as they build upon others’ open source building blocks

Long term, centralized crypto apps that build atop decentralized infrastructure will find it the key to what allows them to scale beyond incumbents. Meanwhile, pure-play decentralized apps are in danger as they will get outcompeted in response time, customer service, and distribution to the end user. “Decentralize all the things” is a mistake. Decentralize only the things that benefit from decentralization.
