I am really upset about this acquisition.. And equally or more concerned with centralized power points, maybe to an extreme that is too radical. But I do believe at it's core, crypto is different because it's core ethos is to reject that notion. So while the internet disrupted centralized broadcasters with a decentralized protocol for content distribution, it wasn't baked into the technologies ethos. So in my opinion, this difference of core mission, along with the ability to launch dApps (anonymously even, if you'd like) without fear of being shut down, will be a differentiation that protects this technology's fate from creating new centralized choke points.

Ie. if Sean Parker was driven by the mission/ethos of crypto, Napster couldn't be taken down, people would still be using it today, and the traditional music industry would be dead (as well as traditional tech companies like Spotify).
