The idea of decentralization is greatly revered in the cryptosphere. and it is because of several important reasons. Decentralization is important. But it isn't something to be had for the sake of having it. We need to dissect, test and figure out why it is good. Eating is good. but too much eating leads obesity and that leads to sickness.

But Firs Take A look At Democracy

Compared to tyranny and totalitarianism or communism, democracy is a very good thing. Moving to a more democratic system of power has resulted in some undeniable prosperity. But are they really because the society moved towards democracy? My answer is actually a "No". I'll explain at the bottom of the page. For now I'd like you to take a look at some forum discussions involving our average voters.

These samples are an accurate representation of what was going on in the forum. You can check the full thread here. But don't waste your precious time on these toxic things. Just take some time to understand that these are the people who ultimately decide which people are allowed to pass laws. these are the people that are guiding the civilization. this is the face of humanity under democracy.

The Target

To form an accurate opinion of the scale of this madness, here are some things about this so called disgusting Nazi Whore.

I didn't knew her before i accidentally stumbled upon the above forum thread and i have a feeling that i'd have many disagreements with her due to her being Conservative/ Right while me being Libertarian/Anarcho-Capitalist.

“Libertarianism is neither of the left nor of the right. It is unique. It is sui generis. It is apart from left and right. The left right political spectrum simply has no room for libertarianism. Think of an equilateral triangle, with libertarianism at one corner, the left at a second corner and the right at the third corner. We are equally distant from both of those misbegotten political economic philosophies. No, better yet, think in terms of an isosceles triangle, with us at the top and the two of them at the bottom, indicating they have more in common with each other than with us.”
- Walter Block

But this is a matter of freedom and expression. this is also a matter of taking right decisions. good decisions come from good understanding and discussion is only a means to a better understanding.

The Society Didn't Get better Due To Democracy

It is time I explain my "No" in top of the post. What actually contributed to make the world better was the move towards freedom and self-ownership. It was the movement towards Non Aggression Principle and Anarchy/Libertarianism. Democracy only happened to be on the same path to a certain extent.

I'm not suggesting mixing two opposing ideas by making compromises on both sides. That's not good way to approach problems. What we need to understand is the true utility of decentralization/centralization. These approaches are used to make decisions and solve problems. The currently revered democracy has made the world into a Tragedy of the commons. The term was popularized by Garrett Hardin and this is Ludwig von Mises talking about it.

If land is not owned by anybody, although legal formalism may call it public property, it is utilized without any regard to the disadvantages resulting. Those who are in a position to appropriate to themselves the returns — lumber and game of the forests, fish of the water areas, and mineral deposits of the subsoil — do not bother about the later effects of their mode of exploitation. For them the erosion of the soil, the depletion of the exhaustible resources and other impairments of the future utilization are external costs not entering into their calculation of input and output. They cut down the trees without any regard for fresh shoots or reforestation. In hunting and fishing they do not shrink from methods preventing the repopulation of the hunting and fishing grounds.

The above quote should explain most of the current political landscape. This Tragedy of the commons is actually the ultimate form/end of the S curve of decentralization/centralization. The other end is the tyranny of an individual or a mob.

Bitcoin Vs Dash Vs DPoS

Out of these BTC is the most decentralized and DPoS is the least decentralized. But wich one is giving better performance and making better decisions?

One of the biggest misconceptions about an unstructured system is that the free market will make everything work out just fine. Correction: the free market will sort itself out, as well as its net output, however it will care little to preserve a single specific creation in its realm. In other words, if you fashion a completely decentralized system without properly aligned incentives, the free market will use or discard said system in whichever way it deems most useful, like vultures on a carcass, without a care to preserving its long-term integrity or founding principles. Only with carefully aligned incentives can a system count on the market to keep it moving in the right direction.
- Joël Valenzuela

Projects like Dash and other masternode coins and DPoS projects are doing well because they have enough decentralization to be resistant to attacks and they have enough centralization to be more efficient at making decisions. STEEM for an example is on its way to Hard Fork 20 and even the STEEM fork GOLOS is doing exceptionally well.

We are living in a mad world where majority of the people even believe United States is a Democracy where as it was meant to be a Republic driven not by vote but by principles. in fact the term "Democracy" doesn't eve appear in the US Constitution.

Truth Is Not Something To Be voted On And Principles Do Not Gain Their Merits Through Popularity
