Ever notice how some "crypto" apps aren't really crypto at all?



Ethereum's co-founder has strong feelings about this. He's called out applications that slap a blockchain label on their product while forcing users through Google login screens. The contradiction? Pretty glaring.

Think about it. The whole point of crypto is cutting out centralized gatekeepers. Yet here we are, watching projects claim they're decentralized while handing your access keys to Big Tech. It's like selling "organic" food grown with pesticides.

This isn't just philosophical nitpicking. When an app requires Google authentication, they're basically saying: "We trust Google more than our own infrastructure." That's the opposite of what Web3 stands for.

The frustration makes sense. These pseudo-crypto platforms undermine the credibility of genuine decentralized projects. They're crypto in name only—centralized wolves in blockchain clothing.

Worth asking: Does your favorite "crypto" app actually respect the decentralization it preaches?
