There are a lot of researches being done and products being created in areas where you don't need to rely on those centralized entities.

Decentralized technologies have very shitty UI, and no one would ever adopt them at its current state, but with a combination of the recent hype around them plus the societal change that will frustrate people enough to jump ship regardless of the relatively shittier user experience, it is very possible to change.

And once that starts happening, more talent will flow into this area and innovation will accelerate. This was never possible until now because the society was relatively stable and nobody needed these solutions. Not so anymore.

I'm a big fan of decentralization, but most decentralized technologies still rely on that infrastructure to get around. I haven't seen a long-distance project that can effectively use mesh networking.
