Think you are writing a book about your life, a sort of biography, and you have finished it. What is missing is only the title of the book. A lot of writers confess that writing the title is the most difficult thing. Now imagine writing the title of your book of life, your biography. 

Would it be difficult for you to find the right title?

Let’s share some creative ideas. 

Mine will be:  

1 - Words Across Worlds: A Translator’s Journey


2 - Voices Unveiled: A Translator’s Tale

Something like that. It’s hard to decide. 

What about you? 

If you were to write a book about your life, what would the title be?

This weekend, Mempool announced their upcoming [Mempool Accelerator](https://nitter.at/mempool/status/1659619347910803466) service, prompting many in the Bitcoin community to call out the centralizing effects it could have on the Bitcoin network.

Mempool isn't the only service to be called out as a centralizing force, they're just the most recent example. Many services from wallets to exchanges to mining pools to LN implementations have at one point or another been called centralizing forces by members of the Bitcoin community.

The purpose of this discussion is to talk about the effects of various centralizing forces on the network, and distill the specific aspects of Bitcoin that must be protected from centralization.

A few questions...

- Which components of the Bitcoin protocol, network, and asset must remain decentralized for Bitcoin to succeed?
- Is it possible for centralization to be reversed once a single entity has a majority market share in a specific domain?
- Which projects or initiatives are most concerning to you as a potential centralizing force?
- Are there any examples of instances in which centralization could benefit Bitcoin?

Centralizing Forces - A Weekend Discussion

Everything that turned out well in my life followed the same design process
