> There's a lot more entities Yes. That's decentralization. Rather than trusting one person irrevocably, you trust cryptographic security and the rational economics that emerge from alignment of incentive. Minimal trust in all other actors in the system, rather than maximum trust in one entity. > it becomes harder to understand Not really.. The general principles underlying blockchain are relatively simple. I'd agree that the finer implementation details can be complex, especially when it comes to consensus, sharding, or cryptography. But that varies between protocols. Do you have any examples of the assertions you find hard to follow?
