Interesting how you don’t see anything hypocritical about saying “You’re wrong! You have no data!” …And not having data yourself.

I wasn’t claiming to have data. I was just making some observations.

But since you asked, and since I’m not a sour troll, I’m happy to provide more “data”.

The heart of my observation was that people seem to prefer centralized solutions and centralized solutions would attract the most capital. I also observed that people seem to be scared of holding their own keys.

For example, there are more users of just one centralized exchange than there are total UTXOs. There are over ~90 million Coinbase accounts. There are ~60 million total UTXOs.

Even outside the crypto industry… Apple, the most centralized platform, attracts the most market value across mobile companies. Why? Because centralization offers a better UX. Moreover, Apple owns the market of high net worth individuals across the globe. If that observation is not obvious, check out the difference in app store spend on Apple vs Google.

People seem to be scared to hold their own keys. The last stat I saw showed that people who hold their own keys represent a dismal sub-3% of bitcoin “owners”. Perhaps you know the actual number.

Now, your turn. What data do you have that indicates that people do not prefer centralized solutions? That people are not scared to hold their own keys?
