Catalyzing events: The argument suggests that a significant external threat or controversy can serve as a catalyst for rapid decentralization by:
- Uniting the community around a common cause
- Forcing a clear delineation between different visions for the project
- Potentially resulting in a fork that more evenly distributes tokens and power
Community resilience: Such events test the community's ability to self-organize and respond to threats, potentially strengthening decentralization in the process.
Redistribution of power: In cases like Hive, the fork allowed for a redistribution of tokens, excluding the contentious pre-mine and potentially creating a more decentralized token distribution.
