Wait, people are JUST NOW figuring out $NEAR isn't decentralized? 😂

This has been obvious for anyone paying attention. Validator set, foundation control, centralized sequencing—it's all there if you look.

The marketing was tight though, I'll give them that. "Sharded L1" sounds sexy until you realize who's actually running the show.

If you're holding $NEAR for "decentralization," might want to reassess your thesis. There are better plays for that narrative.
