Oh, Kickstarter…

I had already made a decision to pause my participation in Kickstarter projects this year, but the news that they’re planning to jump on the blockchain bandwagon has hardened my resolve to step away from there.

Not only is it a middle finger raised against the future of the planet, but I’ve very little confidence that this will ultimately benefit anyone other than Kickstarter, their investors and blockchain partners.

Decentralisation, it appears to me, just means different middlemen, less accountability and more likelihood of getting scammed.
