Marketplaces will be centralized

Decentralization maximalists dream of a world in which everything is decentralized, and single players no longer dominate in particular sectors.  I think their dreams will never come to pass for two main reasons, which are discussed in this episode. 

The audio for this episode comes from a video where I am wearing a hat. Because I can't be bothered to clip the last 20 seconds I talk about a hat I am wearing, which of course is going to be a non-sequitur to listeners, so feel free to ignore that bit.
