https://vinnylingham.com/a-tale-of-two-bitcoins-20375d49d3d3Its clear from the recent surge in Ripple (a highly centralized coin) to $2+ ($100bn+ market cap), that the market/traders definitely dont care much about centralization.
From my reading of Vinny's twits and his argument with Core team over the past year, I thought his ideology follows more closely with the ETH and BCH crowd.
The problem with the above statement is that those who don't care about centralization will probably end up using the upcoming bankster and govcoin in due time. So I have maintained in the past that ALT isn't really the problem, but govcoin with monthly airdrop in the form of Universal Basic Income or social welfare would be the real competition. Because Bitcoin is voluntary and based on incentives, people can leave any time if they want. So it got to be deflationary for hodlers to hold and fee market high for miners to secure.
I mean if you are in crypto only for the money, I think it's perfectly fine for people to play with bankster/govcoin. After all, crony capitalism is highly lucrative and the overlords always want their goons and hanger-on to be well paid to set an example for others. Even if you are a diehard rebel planning to pull a disappearing act once the revolution fails, it still may be sensible to hedge a bit because if we can't get Gold Standard 2.0 empowered by Internet, than it's more likely that we will end up with some dystopian Fiat 2.0, paid for and paved with the blood of crypto pioneers. So with some bankster/govcoin on hand, you can actually claim some plausible deniability or at least as someone being led astray and now repentant.
