1. Decentralized
2. Anonymous
3. Trustworthy
4. Immune (from bad actors)
History has shown that these values are incompatible. Not a little incompatible - completely incompatible. We only have three decks of cards open to us:
1. Open and anonymous (and hopelessly corrupted by bad actors to the point of uselessness - phase 1 - Google only got popular in the first place because people couldn't dig through the manure)
2. Closed (held hostage by Big Tech curation - you are here - phase 2 - but corruption causes government intervention)
3. Open and accountable (identities tied to the real world, with real world accountability - incoming phase - but at least you don’t need to worry about DDoS as much)
There is no other option that works, any more than 1 + 1 + 1 = 4, no matter how badly we wish it existed.
