Who is “we”? Ironically, crypto was invented to protect individuals against the authoritarian tendencies of people such as yourself. Your comment is making the case for decentralization.

People should remember that blockchain does not require Proof of Work consensus. If you want to ban PoW, be specific about it. If you want to ban blockchain, don’t simply advocate for killing PoW since blockchains will exist without it.

You know that Edison didn't need to invent wires and glass-working to invent the light-bulb, right?

So who invented "crypto"? What is it even, cryptography? Where can I read their thoughts on authoritarianism?
