Keybase being a traditional centralized platform was/is precisely the issue: Single point of failure and trust in one company. All it took was Zoom acquiring them to make the whole system obsolete.

We need something with logical centralization but independent of any single actor or company.

Blockchain development is funded by VCs looking to stay relevant.

It’s software; there’s no panacea and thousands of options for solving problems; blockchain is just one.
