Harvard Business Review
“Decentralization makes technology more complicated and further out of reach for basic users, rather than simpler and more accessible.

While it’s possible to fix this by adding new layers that can speed things up, doing so makes the whole system more centralized, which defeats the purpose.”
Harvard Business Review, Web3: The Insights You Need from Harvard Business Review
