Ethereum failed already at beginning. A blockchain; Mutable ,premined and ICO is already there. Eth is the target for regulations and censorship sooner or later. And i agree with that scalability is very important part of decentralization. Privacy and scalability well balanced in MimbleWimble.
90% of the creations on Ethereum are useless and there is little there that is worth looking at. From the start, it was not designed to scale at all hence its sluggish throughput and high fees. Now it is going to become even more centralized when it moves to PoS.
Might as well drop the decentralization claims then.
Sounds like early internet BBS boards!
RE: ETH decentralization, they've prioritized decentralization of the settlement layer over the decentralization of money in the world, which does somewhat reflect the current state of the world.
Same for Bitcoin — but it'll never happen.
