You give sheep more credit than I do. I think they are looking at it more like stocks and a money-making opportunity. They heard about people getting rich from BTC, and they want that too. They probably don't know much about the coin or the concept of decentralization. But I wonder, in an open market, where the wealthy can buy as much of anything they want. What is to stop them from amassing large amounts of whatever they think will be successful? I guess what I'm asking is: Is the decentralization of a finite item on an open marketplace a pipedream? We know full well that the rich and their various organizations and institutions can use their vast wealth to amass infinite quantities of whatever. Just wait until the Fed starts buying BTC—that'll be a real hoot (if they're not already). I think the map is not the territory when it comes to decentralization. I mean, it's nice in theory; But whenever a certain popularity level is unlocked, the market for the item becomes subject to forces that either covet or desire to control it. If it never became popular, then Bilderberg, China, and the NWO would want nothing to do with it. If it never became popular, it wouldn't have much value. That means the rest of crypto wouldn't either. I say this because all of the cryptos seem inextricably connected to the health of BTC.
