To all the people that downvoted my comment, do you think that decentralization is inherently connected to the Blockchain/NFT? If true, mind explaining?

  Just shouting "BUT DECENTRALIZATION!" bears as much sense as "BUT BITCOIN". Decentralization doesn't have inherent value, and has a whole host of problems that cryptopeddlers don't want to either acknowledge or pretend to solve.

    > Decentralization doesn't have inherent value I think that when building the internet and the web, decentralization was assumed to have a lot of value, do you disagree with that?

      > decentralization was assumed to have a lot of value It wasn't inherent. The value was "in the case of global nuclear war it would be nice to have independent centers that could still continue to operate in the aftermath". It was a solution to a very specific (though thankfully theoretical) problem. "web3" offers no such problem, but loves to scream "but decentralization!".
