Moore’s Law (cheaper/faster/better hardware over time) makes decentralization possible. It’s cheap to get a 1TB SSD now. In the future, cheap 10TB or 100TB SSDs will be commonplace. And the processors and memory will also be fast and cheap. There will be no reason to not include all that cheap and abundant storage and computing power in home routers, entertainment consoles, cable boxes, etc.

All the high performance and big data stuff will still be in data centers, but everyone will be able to store their own personal stuff (e.g., financial transactions, Bitcoin balance/blockchain, social media data, family photos/videos) locally.

Not that bullish on the economy myself.

Also, I don't think government will allow big tech to host the rebel alliance, that's pretty naïve. Europe is already implementing laws that forbid encrypted communications, those are there for that exact reason.

But this isn't about Moores law, it's about competition. Inefficient systems cant compete. Unless ofcourse, people are willing to walk the extra mile but I don't see that happening with the majority of society, they like their security.

Maybe we should just hope for a quick end and even quicker recovery.
