That's like saying hash tables will fix cloud computing monopolies. They're really neat for collaborative tools at application level, but it doesn't solve any of the infrastructure problems.

They're not even the missing piece in decentralized infra either. There are alternatives that work as efficiently.

No it’s not because there’s nothing about hash tables that enables peer to peer collaboration over centralization. CRDTs do because you don’t need a “master” or “central” source of truth anymore.

Then what is?

I didn’t say they were anyway though, that’s why I mentioned network infrastructure as another constraint.
