&gt;Why reducing decentralisation could reduce risks in DeFi and Web3, and widen their appeal beyond early adopters. Reduce enough of the decentralization, and you&#x27;ll get more users. True. But you&#x27;ll start to look more like Meta, Apple than Bitcoin.<p>For blockchains, choose 2 out of 3: decentralization, performance, security. Visa chose performance and security. Bitcoin and ETH1 chose decentralization and security. ETH2 chose performance and security.<p>I&#x27;ve always said this. If Bitcoin wants to perform as many transactions&#x2F;second as Visa one day, it&#x27;ll turn itself into an Oracle database.
