are views as to what constitutes a decentralized system differs to much...
Run by various government/institutions/corporations != decentralized coin. That's a "Capital Coin". If you want such a coin, just fork off with the existing support that you have already. Don't try turning Bitcoin into something that it isn't. in my view its my duty as a bitcoiner to discuss my views on its future. this doesn't necessarily mean agreeing with the status quo. ( if we all just TRUST 1 group of devs to have our best interest in mind, WTF is the point??? )
also... Run by various government/institutions/corporations Can == decentralized
IF there is no central authority
so the peers
beside no one is stopping individuals to invest in a 10,000$ node and participate in this network i am suggesting.
That's a pretty big IF.
Most governments, institutions and corporations are fundamentally centralized. Hence why they each can be regulated.
the canadian government is not subject to the USA government in a centralized manner.
in a sense the systems of governance around the world are decentralized, each operating independently from each other working toward a common goal ( making pencils! )
when the governments meet at the united nations are they there to hear the wishes of a commander and chief and carry out his orders. or do they each act as individuals working ( trying to work ) toward a common goal, each with there own agenda.
So long as there are competing interest who are dependent on a consistent blockchain Bitcoin will remain decentralized.
