been thinking about this a lot: decentralization is a long-term game. the church controlled all written knowledge for around 1000 years, with no more than a few thousand manuscripts in circulation. then gutenberg happened, and within the first 50 years of the press, the number of books hit 9 million copies. today, the books market is around $95bn, which is around 3.8% of amazon's giant market cap 🤯

so, decentralize... centralize... decentralize... and the loop goes on and on
