yo, this is a _Existential_ problem. These companies were setup as _frauds_. They have _no real profits_. Nothing they're going to do is ever going to bring back this money.

I think you just seem to accept the "capitalist" principal that corporations are people. They're not. There's nothing here, zilch, zero, nada.

This fine is meaningless. The company is meaningless. Treating this make believe company like it can perform restitution is an insult to every victim of this fraud.

and they recentralized themselves of their own accord nearly immediately. BTC as an example: currently, to earn bitcoin, you need to already have either a decent chunk of change *or* a good/service that people are willing to pay bitcoin for. and that latter case is reserved almost exclusively for CSGO skins and drug dealers. it’s a far cry from the early days where people would have .txt files on their desktops with the hashes for 20 coins because now more are getting minted and the value keeps artificially going up and it keeps getting harder to mint new hashes and now it takes exponentially more energy et cetera et cetera ad infinitum.

bitcoin is no more decentralized than casino chips are. frankly, NO currency other than a plain quid-pro-quo barter system is a decentralized currency.

>the good quality projects are decentralized

Such as?
