False! THORChain effectively proved that it is not truly decentralized. In May, when its own vaults were drained, node operators paused the entire network within minutes and kept it offline for 13 hours. A network that can stop when its own funds are at risk, but refuses to do so when someone else’s funds are at risk, is not “like Bitcoin.” Bitcoin cannot be stopped. THORChain can—it simply chooses when to do so.
