the command hierarchy bias is a useful metabolic optimization, as very many phenomena can indeed be accurately explained in this way
but it becomes incoherent when there isn't a central authority from which causation flows
decentralized systems are not explainable in this way
many crypto-skeptics miss that a significant contingent of the crypto ecosystem is values-driven & as such is prone to engaging in apparently suboptimal behavior, as their optimization window is much longer term than one would expect for the profit-driven

I posit that the divergence is one of values and theory of change, specifically in how one envisions the relationship between the two. does change flow from values?…

there's certainly good arguments that can be made regarding how decentralized "crypto" really is based on funding structures and resource imbalances, but the nature of the technology is such that there simply is not any one party capable of unilaterally enacting changes
