Just as with social media, convenience was more important than sovereignty via decentralization.

Can’t change the wind, have to adjust your sails.

I don’t fault the average person for not wanting to be their own bank. I’ve been using bitcoin for years and I’m still terrified I’m going to mess up a transaction or lose access to my wallet.

This is the biggest problem that an average person need not ever want to deal with. How do you explain to someone sorry we cannot help you because it was your responsibility to manage that wallet.
