"The answer that matters depends on the context. The context you need to have is that cryptocurrency, i.e. Bitcoin, was invented/discovered initially to allow a money\xa0by the people\xa0that cannot be shut down by government.

There are all types of things we can arbitrarily decentralize, elements of the network, codebase, implementations, etc. But all of these things are secondary to the most critical decentralization, the one that matters, and the one that represents a once-in-a-millenia innovation that will change everything. Without that critical pillar, the decentralization of literally everything else is irrelevant... listen to find out.\n\nLink to the original article to check it out, dig deeper into the topics, or read the many other great pieces at Bitcoin reserve:\nhttps://bitcoinreserve.com/blog/understanding-decentralization-in-bitcoin#\n\nLink to Arman's piece on why you should run a node:\nhttps://armantheparman.com/why-should-you-run-your-own-bitcoin-node/\n\nLink to the most important history lesson in Bitcoin:\nhttps://www.audible.com/pd/The-Blocksize-War-Audiobook/B096CNVVQC?qid=1661901093&sr=1-1&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1&pf_rd_p=83218cca-c308-412f-bfcf-90198b687a2f&pf_rd_r=R8K45E4E7Q0D0R8TTHCF\n\nCheck out our amazing sponsors and the products that Guy uses most in the space:\n\u2022 The best place to onboard a true Bitcoiner - Stack sats automatically, withdraw automatically, and learn or get help from the best team of Bitcoiners out there with Swan Bitcoin.
