If that’s what you took away from my post, I must have done a poor job with it.

Firstly emergent consensus is a big part of decentralized systems. Core providers convening on a decision and supporting it is perfectly healthy. That’s quite different than a CEO saying things will be X way and everyone just having to accept it.

Additionally, my point is that people WILL likely try to have a contentious chain (as is their right in a decentralized project), but due to the maturity of Ethereum the technical consequences are much more impactful than the BTC/BCH scenario.

Appreciate your thoughtful reply here. I can tell you're excited about emergent consensus. So am I! Is there a DAO or L2 project you're particularly excited for here?

Exactly. Decentralised trustless systems requiring 'trust' means it's Decentralised somehow. The greatest example? The failure of 'The DAO'.

More decentra-lies and Ethereum pumping each other's, VCs and investors bags.

That's not what the comment you're responding to says at all.
