I just don't see the benefits our community is going to have

Depends on point of view.

Those who see SPR as speculation tools: no benefit indeed.

Those who try to use crypto in the business world: plenty of benefits:

Increased Profile (standing) in the business world
Ready made solutions for applications
Increased adoption rates (first to market)
Build Track Record (implementations)
Real world solutions provider (we can list accomplishments)
Services and Consultations (who wants to try next)
Build continuous value (steady market value increase)
Worldwide wallet distribution (adoption by business users)
etc...

I just wrote this as I went. Given some extra time there will be a ton of other reasons why it would benefit the community. Again, depending on expectations and viewpoints. No crypto can survive long term without a sound economic plan. Speculation on exchanges only doesn't cut it. Real value comes from sustained business use, which in turn comes from adoption. The more the merrier Cool

I clearly see these benefits. I'm curious what an argument against it is - a formulated argument for why it would hurt decentralization.

As long as it doesn't hurt decentralization, I don't see a problem. In fact, I think it would possibly aid in attracting new people to the community... which will even out distribution of coins. Currently I think there are only a few buyers.

P.S. Coins that wall isn't gone yet Tongue
