There's something fundamentally contradictory happening in the industry right now. We tout blockchain as this immutable, trustless system—the whole point of the tech. But when things go south, we see endless chain rollbacks, protocol interventions, and governance overrides. It begs a question: what's the actual difference between that and traditional centralized systems that can also reverse transactions when needed? If rollbacks are on the table whenever major incidents occur, aren't we just adding layers of complexity without the promised decentralization benefits? The irony is thick. Either we commit to immutability as a core feature, or we stop pretending blockchain solves the trust problem. Can't have it both ways.

Laughing out loud, isn't it just centralized services with a new look?

Basically, it's just a scam. Rolling back feels good for a moment, but trustworthiness drops to zero immediately.

NGL, isn't this just self-deception? Praising decentralization on one hand and rolling back endlessly—what's the difference from CEX?
