True, but I haven't found any good decentralized options for almost anything that don't have enough friction to scare the average user away. I'm talking about decentralized options that are actually decentralized, not "potentially decentralized in theory but no one uses them in a decentralized way".

I do see a future where we crack the code to a smooth flow that does allow for decentralized networks, but it does suck for most people currently.

Email is decentralized is it not? It's pretty frictionless to create a new email address with whichever provider. You can have as many as you want. Some are free, others you pay for. You can even run your own email server (if you want to deal with the pain that entails).

I think we're so used to email we forget how well it works.

		Actually great point. It's been a bit ruined by spam detection and trust, but definitely still a good decentralized option. > I think we're so used to email we forget how well it works. You're right and that's quite a testament to it.
