Funny the way that he included "Decentralizing Opportunity", and then followed up by envisioning a scarily centralized future for e-commerce.

Thats a shame because a re-decentralization of the web is one of the things that really should happen.

True decentralization will happen when anybody can host a functional website on their mobile phone(s) without depending upon the services of a corporate behemoth.



This. There are real initiatives to support actual decentralization, not "decentralization" that means using any service, as long as Facebook owns it.


Decentralization is just taking the place that blockchain took for a while before too many people lost faith in it.


Decentralization as a general idea predates blockchain. VRM/personal data lockers, for example.
