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.

I think these could be existential threats to the Internet Computer's success.

Agree?

1. The NNS is unable to decentralize sufficiently

2. Subnets are unable to decentralize sufficiently

3. ICP is declared a security by the SEC

4. Ethereum adopts chain key -> fantastic sharding
