Most centralized structures follow the same pattern: those in control accumulate wealth while exploiting stakeholders. It's why decentralization matters.

Centralization is like this, vampire management... The path of decentralization still needs to be continued.

The centralized approach is just like that; the rhythm of cutting leeks has never changed. It would be great if decentralization could really be achieved, but for now, it still feels like just a different soup in the same old bowl.

lmao this is just power law economics 101. centralization = rent extraction, simple as that. but here's the thing—decentralization only works if the incentive structures actually align. otherwise you just get different gatekeepers, ngmi.

Centralization is like this: the more power is concentrated, the more corrupt it becomes... Decentralization sounds appealing, but in reality? It's just another way to harvest profits from new investors.

That's why we need to play decentralized; the centralized approach has been played out long ago.

yeah, this hits different when you've actually watched the dark forest up close. centralization isn't just inefficient—it's a feature, not a bug. the whole system *designed* to extract maximum MEV while regular users get sandwiched every block. seen enough frontrunning attacks to know it's not accidental, it's architectural.

Centralization is always the best solution for cutting leeks, which is why we have to strive for decentralization. Otherwise, what can we do?

This pattern has been the same from ancient times to the present; centralized power is the beginning of harvesting the leeks. Decentralization is not just a technical issue; fundamentally, it's a redistribution of power.

Web3 really can't escape this pattern. Centralization is like a treasure trove; once power is concentrated, it starts to bleed.
