No one said decentralization will be easy. The fact that there is no leader in bitcoin, as compared to the cryptos which are led by their respective development teams is a strenght, not a weakness, even though it leads to people thinking they can control bitcoin. Just look at ethereum; do you really believe it is decentralized? the project will die if Vitalik just decides to leave; BTC is the only mainstream blockchain to be decentralized, and yes, people will try to hijack it, that doesn't mean they will succeed: the UASF allowed the implementation of segwit, and segwit2x was a massive failure. Twice in a row, the community has won over people trying to hijack bitcoin. To me that is proof enough that BTC is rock solid and favors consensus above all else.
