Now @Justin_Bons is dropping the uncomfortable truth most won’t say, not all chains are actually crypto.
Those top 100 projects? 11 are fully permissioned and *ehem* centralized. Control is in the hands of a few insiders. $BNB, $XRP, $XLM, $HBAR, $MNT, $POL, $VET, $ARB, $OP, $STX, $STRK... they're all masquerading as decentralized, but they actually aren’t!
True crypto means anyone can join, validate, and build without gates, but permissioned chains strip that away, concentrating power and risk.
Reject the chains that trade principles for market cap!
Decentralization isn’t optional but it’s the foundation!
Beware of centralization disguised as "crypto"! ⚠️
In the top 100 by market cap, there are 11 chains that are totally permissioned! (centralized):
BNB, XRP, XLM, HBAR, MNT, POL, VET, ARB, OP, STX & STRK
Crypto's value is based on decentralization; so, reject the pretenders! 🔥
