Does Decentralization Matter? | Kevin Owocki & Cooper Turley

What is most important in crypto? What wins out in the end? Today, we find out if user experience is more important than decentralization. As we progress through crypto's cambrian explosion, we often observe the tradeoff between immediate product viability and a 'no cutting corners' approach.

Taking the side of UX & a product-first mentality is Cooper Turley, a champion of the creator economy. Kevin Owocki—himself a schelling point for public goods—is defending decentralization and the merits of a values-first approach.

While exploring the roots of this tradeoff, we'll learn more about where we are as an ecosystem and where we are inevitably heading.
