The terms decentralisation and centralisation are not exactly black and white but rather gray areas that overlap with one another. "Distributed" might be a better term (also much more efficient)

I more or less agree with what you are saying but I would like to expand a bit more. Decentralisation is not something new. For example Great Alexander divided his empire into small self governing states instead of a centralised one.

Also, decentralisation technologies are used today from centralised entities such as goverments. For example Sweden is testing as we speak a decentralised land registry protocol

In essense people will still be bound to centralised entities. Even globalisation, which was the first major "decentralisation" still holds the burden of centralised market controls. Another example is Steemit. It might be build on a decentralised technology but still the whales hold very much a centralised power and can silence anybody if they so wish.

Sort:  

Indeed. Full decentralization of power is probably utopy. ..
