I discuss the idea of deterministic decentralization as implemented by the Internet Computer and Chainlink.

I contrast that with what I call optimistic decentralization as implemented by Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most other blockchains.

2. Subnets are unable to decentralize sufficiently

3. ICP is declared a security by the SEC

4. Ethereum adopts chain key -> fantastic sharding
