I agree that decentralization of the chain should be a priority. Both in terms of server location for nodes ands as far as further spreading of HIVE tokens to promote more variety and less old boys club amongst top witnesses (not saying the current witnesses are doing a bad job though).

"And so I can not expect to be able to rely on any of you because I have no tribe, nor do I want one."

I prefer to do my own thing as well. Power to you there.

Everything on chain is transparent obviously.. Although the chain does not record motive nor political atmosphere at all sadly.
