currently, there are providers of anonymity services, scaling services,
custody, and other services layered on top of bitcoin using trust-based and
federated models.
as bitcoin becomes more popular, these service providers have increasingly
had a louder "voice" in development and maintenance of the protocol
holders generally want these features
but service providers have an incentive to maintain a "moat" around their
services
in summary, making privacy, scaling and vaulting "hard" for regular users,
keeping it off-chain and federated... is now incentivised among a vocal,
but highly technical, minority
is anyone else worried about this?
