True decentralization: No one can take away the assets you legally and compliantly hold in any way. False decentralization: Anyone can take away the assets you legally and compliantly hold in any way. After being in the crypto industry for so many years, my own thinking has undergone a great transformation. From initially longing for that decentralized "code is law" utopian world, I gradually began to waver and question: What do we really want, freedom or rules? Justice or efficiency? I once thought decentralization was a shield for ordinary people to defend themselves against tyranny, but increasingly I feel that excessive and extreme decentralization is precisely a weapon for tyranny to plunder ordinary people and even legalize it. The famous book "Sapiens" proposes that the process of human development is about continuously ceding some of our rights to form a public service center responsible for security, diplomacy, and other matters, so that ordinary people can focus more energy on productive labor. But if I tell you that this world will no longer have any center, and everyone must only be responsible for themselves, you have to be careful walking on the street because someone might stab you to death, and you have to guard your front door at all times because someone could break in and claim your home as their own, then this world becomes one where might makes right. There is an American movie called "The Purge," where the US government declares that on this day, all fire, security, police, and other government departments are suspended, and people can do whatever they want. On this day, all the poor can only cower at home, but it becomes a paradise for the rich because they can go out with mercenaries and kill freely. Are rules meant to protect the poor or the rich? I dare say that in the vast majority of normal countries, without rules, the poor would live even worse, becoming human batteries for the rich. I once also strongly believed in "code is law," that what is agreed upon must never be changed, but even the most powerful country in the world, the United States, has amended its constitution 27 times. Breaking promises is certainly a bad thing, but from individuals to countries, everything is dynamically evolving, so there is no absolute binary that must be followed. You cannot see Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge or North Korea’s Kim regime and conclude that all governments are bad and that we must create a world without centers and lies. So I am very puzzled: those who strongly support hackers and act as accomplices to them—what kind of background do they have? How much persecution have they suffered in life to develop such a distorted value system? I really feel sorry for them
