BTC price has risen above $ 11,200

Is the decentralization of the Ethereum network in doubt?

Blockchain expert Anthony Pompliano is confident that the use of cloud services calls into question the decentralization of the Ethereum network, and threatens the operation of DeFi apps. He believes that the biggest problem in this context is the Amazon Web Services platform, which currently owns a large number of Ethereum nodes. Thus, the owner of the company Jeff Bezos can stop the service if he wishes. “Ethereum does not have a decentralized network if Uncle Jeff has servers,” Pompliano said.
