10,000 validators. 5 entities controlling consensus. Justin Bons, which number matters? Garand Tyson explains why transparent trust topology > inflated validator counts.

@gttyson You know what is even more important than a high validator count: A permissionless validator set Something Stellar totally lacks, as it is a permissioned chain! (centralized) Cryptocurrency is based on incentives, not trust... That is what makes it sovereign & credibly neutral

@Justin_Bons @gttyson Thanks Garand very educational ! You make it easy for all to understand ! 🫡

@Justin_Bons @gttyson stellar has 7 tier 1 validators?

@Justin_Bons @gttyson Great post Stellar and Garand !! Stellar has a unique approach to PoS. Algorand $ALGO also has a unique approach with Pure Proof of Stake (PPoS), a VRF based consensus with thousands of permissionless nodes running consensus. And P2P (no relays) is currently live with opt in. 👀

@Justin_Bons @gttyson Validator count feels like vanity if the control’s still concentrated

@Justin_Bons @gttyson commenting for reach. Let's go @StellarOrg!

@Justin_Bons @gttyson It is easier to manipulate proof of agreement if you produce ~infinite wallets with an AI and set the validator as trusted? @Justin_Bons so imo there has to be more KPI to set someone as trusted or not a central bank like ECB or FED are 95% trusted

@Justin_Bons @gttyson Garand is the man! Love this.

@Justin_Bons @gttyson Straightuuup
