On today's podcast, we continue the discussion, applying concepts and stories from "The Spider and the Starfish: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations," a formational book on pre-blockchain decentralization written in the early 2000s, as the centralized U.S. military struggled to effectively dispatch a much smaller decentralized force in Afghanistan.

While the battlefield is different, the insight is perhaps even more relevant to the world of blockchain projects and their decentralized origins and ambitions.
