It's really bizarre that so many people are impressed by the ability to instantly send information across a centralized network... because we've had this capability for decades and there's nothing innovative about it.

For example, sending XRP on Ripple or sending BNB on the Binance Smart Chain.I've seen a lot of comments like, "It's incredible. You press send and half a second later the funds are there. Once you use it, you'll never go back to BTC or ETH."Are you amazed when you send your friend a message on Messenger and a moment later it's there? Because it's really not that different.The entire problem Satoshi set out to solve was how to send information trustlessly across a decentralized network. Computer scientists spent years and years trying to find an answer. But apparently Satoshi could have just created a company called Bitcoin LLC, set up a handful of nodes, and claimed it was decentralized.
