When I think of "decentralisation" I think everyone having more or less equal say. When blockchain people talk about "decentralisation" they are just talking about some kind of market based solution.
I find that a bit misleading.
- m3ta 10y agoBlockchain decentralization doesn't imply a market-based solution. Bitcoin's market value perpetuates its ledger but that market isn't necessarily involved in every blockchain app. Furthermore, to achieve true "1 person = 1 vote" decentralization you would need to solve the sybil attack problem which is an issue that greatly effects but is separate from blockchain and voting. These two concepts are often conflated.
