Welp, I just watched Ned and Andy on the Bridge

I learned some tough lessons

When a community pretends they are decentralized, but focuses on one development company to do 

EVERYTHING. 

Blockchain Development, Marketing, Business Direction, Content Management etc.

And If that company says.. Hey guys we've got this...  Or at the very least sends mixed messages about it.

And one day, they say.. Hey we are broke and tired.

Everything we thought was coming, comes to a sudden halt.

It is our own fault and the very reason for decentralization.

I'm pretty new to crypto 2.5 years in.  Watching Ned's talk made a lot of things real to me that have only been a concept before.  At some point probably soon, I will laugh and consider this part of my education.  Right now, I'm kind of pissed that I knew some of these things could come to haunt us, but I just pushed it aside and hoped it wouldn't.

Ouch.

I'm regrouping please don't offer platitudes in the comments.
