The reliance on the severely distorted plutocratic ownership of 0x, Ethereum, and most of the cryptocoin supplies is a huge risk factor that is often conveniently swept under the rug.

By building on 0x, or other cryptocoin software it's essential to be aware of the elephants/whales in the "economy" of cryptocoins and tokens.

Agreed, especially with respect to Ethereum's governance. The ETC/ETH fork is still fresh in many peoples' minds.
Yeah that was brutal; the definition of oh, you lost a few thousand dollars? That sucks ETH transactions are irreversible. Now I lost a few hundred million so all of a sudden it’s reversible, no harm no foul -- and most importantly, no lessons were learned that day.
