> Decentralized trust could be great, but I wonder how much time actually needs to be spent talking about it vs. actually building it...

This is the tell for me that most of the people promoting it are just trying to find buyers for their tokens: there's tons of marketing for things which either don't exist at all or offer a worse experience than the status quo, and it's very rare to find someone who clearly understands the problem and how we got there. For example, we started with a more decentralized web than we have now — any conversation about how to go in a different direction needs to be based on the economic factors which produced the current state.
