BNB/ETH has been setting higher highs and higher lows for 9+ years
Binance founders need to decentralize/dump more supply on the market to correct this problem immediately
According to hl_eco, the validators are decentralized across a few different companies and buildings in Tokyo. They have decentralized server admins and delegators as well.
Although, decentralization is a spectrum of course. Would greater geographic and economic decentralization of the validators be more bullish for the price of HYPE?
Maybe not if it would increase latency and decrease the speed with which they vote, activate network upgrades, operate oracles, and list/delist markets.
Maybe not if a greater % of the total HYPE supply were decentralized in such a way that creates net sell pressure.
People often think greater decentralization is bullish because BTC and ETH are #1 and #2 marketcap. However, how much of their lead is simply first mover advantage?
BNB, XRP, and TRX outperformed them on many timeframes, despite having founders who probably control enough supply to dictate the validators if they really wanted.
People often claim greater decentralization is bullish because it defends against overregulation. However, a higher coin price might be more effective for that. As we saw with BNB, XRP, and TRX successfully defending themselves by allocating their Number Go Up warchests.
