Which conclusions might we possibly infer, from people who obsess over the details of decentralized systems, when they treat an allegedly decentralized ledger like pointless garbage? Who among us could theoretically derive elucidating information from the eventuality wherein diehard open-source coders dissent against conservative-adjacent libertarian tech bros vis-a-vis the merits of the latter’s supposedly relevant magic beans? Whence springs any hint of insight, whereupon a community collectively obs
