Been controlled by a centralized entity isn't a problem for EOS.
Block One was never here for it.
The problem was that the community never got the memo and destroyed the ways to self-funding (the inflation % supposed to go to WPS, the early RAM and premium names fee etc) expecting that B1 would add their funds to growth the ecosystem.
It took 2 years of pain to wake up!!!
