The one thing people don't want to admit about crypto, is that although it is decentralized on paper, in reality, it has been one of the most easily manipulated spaces to invest in.

One tweet from some idiot and you have null coins pumping x100. So, if we really want to indulge in catastrophology, if the government decides "fuck it! let me get some of dis", then they could easily use propaganda to manipulate the shit out of everyone.

Crypto, blockchain technology, dag etc are just medium to decentralization and not the decentralization itself. To achieve the latter, there must be a shift in our mindset, which fortunately I think it's happening (with the help of the aformentioned things).
