Sometimes I wish our language had tenses or other markers for levels of epistemic confidence. A one-syllable way to say:
"I believe X because I have mathematical proof"
"I'm underqualified on this topic, but my feeling is X"
"My impression from observations so far is X"
etc

Let's talk about the real source of centralization on the beacon chain.
1. Solo staking is still too challenging for most.
2. Decentralized staking options feel risky to most.
3. Giving money to a third party for staking is just easy and people know how to do that.

Some interesting Dune shenanigans lately:
- Some wizards were paying for stars. Those have been rugged now.
- A founder asked a wizard to take down a dashboard because the on-chain metrics were embarrassing relative to Twitter hype.
