I may be wrong, but isn't internet decentralized in most countries already?
No it's heavily censored in 95% of the world and monitored by the military intelligence community and Interpol, did you miss Snowden?

This is why you want to be invested in the masternode ecosystem right now:

There wont be 1 single currency to "dominate" and it's not big news to the world in general if alts pass bitcoin, it's only big news to a concentrated minority on bitcointalk.
We're expecting an eco system of coins to establish a foundational infrastructure of the IoT using modular implementations that will streamline computing resources between all chains and interconnect them. The trillions of txs in coming years will not be secure or capable for 1 single or even a cluster of 10 cryptos to support.
We are witnessing the very beginning of one emerging ecosystem with 3rd generation masternodes which are growing together in a cluster of 40 or more.
The replicable nature of digital tech, especially blockchain, will prevent monoliths like bitcoin from forming again, newer introductions will happen in clusters 1st,2nd generation and so forth to enable adopters equal footing in the return on investment and dividend yield as we witness with masternodes: once a node is too expensive, there is a new introduction for the people who missed out.
Value proposition of bitcoin right now is based on strange and unsustainable fundamentals, sentiments is lagging actual technological progress, there is a myriad of newer chains with instant and low cost transactions, the public in general is simply not aware of it yet, recent x100 like raiblocks should be an indication of whats to come, I expect not 1 coin at 1tn but 100 at 10b, many opportunities to profit immensly right now if you work your way down the Market caps with proper chain analysis.Force is part of a generation of masternodes which has already gained x10 in 1 month, part of the value proposition lies in the strength of the network that it is part of by sharing listings at masternode websites and by representing a share of a matrix of other generation 3 block chains which solves scalability and performance issues of earlier iterations that cluster the top 50. This entire eco system of masternodes will soon dominate the top 50 in unison and that is how block chain will evolve henceforth, in batches of competing brands which is actually stronger as a secure and decentralized node network where each chain becomes a txs supernode in the IoT. It should fall on Substratum or Force to develop a module to connect separate block chains, somewhat if an inversion of Komodos proposition. The value of a proprietary module (think of it like an exchange marketplace but for computing power that enables web 4.0) is in the trillions, however, it shouldn't fall on a single dev team to hold a 100% share of such implementation, it will be a shared invention with competing branches: netscape/google, firefox/chrome, microsoft/apple.
Once thousands of active chains are connected with each dedicating a fraction of hash power, humanity will have enabled a workable supercomputing platform orders of magnitude more powerful than the top 500 combined, it's singularity territitory, beyond the knee of the curve. The coinmarketcap list are isolated city states or fire beacons if you will, that will soon be conjoined by a "via appia".
In 2015 I read about zennet and in early 2016 I bought ether at $7 in expectation that it would provide a foundation for this world brain. Recently we have observed that it is simply impossible for a single chain to harness the speed required to operate this world brain, it will fall on the collective block chain eco system using a simple second layer plug in device serving as a browser ui and computing organizer to rectify this vision.
In this 3rd generation masternode ecosystem that was launched two months ago, Force is amongst the lowest valued and technically most sophisticated options, Gobyte is at $1500m and Bulwark at $270m, none of them are at PoS implementation yet, both are significantly slower than Force, and I still expect minimum x10 growth first half 2018 from those two. If you can obtain even 1/50 000th of a share of the 2018 batch with a few thousand dollars invested, you'd be financially independent by 2019, including PoS dividends paid monthly. We're looking at a 10% global market position in crypto with the MNs divided between a few dozen brands. Conservatively.
