Coordination in rollling out a bugfix is not a strong indication of bitcoin being centralized. There are certainly aspects where bitcoin is not as decentralized as one would hope, but overall and when compared against alternatives, it's pretty decentralized.
- hudon 5y ago> Coordination in rollling out a bugfix is not a strong indication of bitcoin being centralized. It depends on how many parties, relative to the whole, are coordinating. It is a very strong indication when 2 devs are coordinating a fundamental decision for thousands of people. You have to realize also that "bugfix" is subjective to human judgement. It's often unclear whether a given behavior is truly contrary to intent or not, and it takes humans in authority to judge this for the rest to avoid perpetual conflict.
