There is a lot of social capital to acquire by making solved problems worse (e.g. "reddit redesign") so blockchain will probably see much wider adoption soon.

On the bright side, there will be a lot of social capital to acquire by "fixing blockchain" with revolutionary "centralised databases" afterwards :)

Yes I think some of the coins caught onto this with DPOS. Have a couple dozen block producers who will run fast servers and can be voted out. Then don’t worry about total decentralization and your performance is 100x the competition.
