To make money out of you guys, they give promises using buzzwords, if they don't feed you lies how will they get your attention?
Bitcoin is decentralized but their new project is also decentralized and it comes with new features blah blah blah.
Let regulations come, let the pressure hit them hard, they will slowly shed their skin and move back to the centralized sides.
I have watched few privacy coins that called themselves decentralized turned back, I have watched a few decentralized projects turning centralized all of a sudden, they knew that nothing compares to BITCOIN.
But to get your attention, to make their marketing strategy hits, they need to use the BuZz WoRds.
Treat Bitcoin as Bitcoin and treat Altcoins as Alts, because that's what they are, at the end of the day nothing really compares to Bitcoin.
Beginners, if I were you I would be less worried about Bitcoin, it's proven already, and I will be more worried about others, the journey of making money through Alts is full of thorns, stay safe out there.
That's right, bitcoin is reliable, altcoins are just toys in the hands of investors and speculators. There is no need to look for decentralization in altcoins. If a project has a group of developers, has main investors and partners, has funding rounds for funds, it is definitely not decentralized. Such projects will always be centered around a certain group of holders who have contributed their money to the development of a new product.
