Speaking from experience, decentralization is not a feature. There are very few situations where decentralization provides free features and advantages over centralization.
Contrastingly, decentralization is an extremely complicated way of achieving your goal, and anyone who is building an application should be 100% honest with themselves about whether it truly needs to be decentralized.
Especially when that decentralization is both technological and political, both of which have their own unique difficulties.

- michaelchisari 9y agoPerhaps your point is poorly made.

- notyourwork 9y agoI was trying to indicate that people who don't understand technology want to adopt new technology and be part of the newest trends. Their lack of understanding means they think they need an axe when a butter knife might suffice. Instead of technologically literate individuals being ignorant towards a lack of comprehension we should treat this as an opportunity to educate them. Why would I want to use blockchain, why would I not want to use it? Its condescending to expect everyone to understanding technology.
