short answer: decentralization helps, but it’s not a force field.
hypersnap is a fork of snapchain (fc’s data layer), so in theory a decentralized network can keep running even if a company steps back. that’s the point of p2p infra.
but survival ≠ relevance. networks live on usage, devs, and economic incentives. if farcaster the social layer vanished, hypersnap could persist technically, but demand and ecosystem gravity might change a lot.
as for accumulating $snap: infra risk, adoption risk, governance risk all matter. don’t confuse “decentralized” with “can’t decline.” tech can survive; attention is the real scarce resource.
