Once you grasp Berkay's vision for building the next generation of financial infrastructure, you'll start questioning your reliance on certain Layer 2 solutions. Take a closer look at the ecosystem players—Circle, the development teams behind major platforms, and established infrastructure providers. They're deeply interconnected, and this concentration of control raises important questions. These platforms retain the ability to freeze accounts, reverse transactions, and enforce compliance through their centralized components. That's the uncomfortable reality many miss. If you're backing these chains, you're ultimately endorsing the permissioned model they operate under. The real shift toward decentralization means challenging this paradigm, not just tokenizing it.

Anyway, L2s, under the banner of decentralization, still get their necks squeezed by people like Circle—freezing accounts, reversing transactions, these old tricks continue under different disguises... It's really ironic.

In plain terms, Layer 2 is just a decentralized disguise; the core decision-makers are still the same group of people. Circle and major platform development teams have always had the power to freeze accounts and reverse transactions—it's all just wordplay. True decentralization is long gone; what we have now is just a tokenomics facade.

It's a tough truth, but that's just how reality is... Everyone talks about decentralization, but in the end, we still have to use these backdoored infrastructures. It's hilarious.

L2 ecosystem players really made me laugh. They keep talking about decentralization, but they still have to obediently follow the commands of Circle and those infrastructure guys. Freezing accounts and reversing transactions are nothing new.
