Centralization and Decentralization - Bridging the Gap

Bridging-the-Gap.jpg

It's easy to get polarized within a point where it becomes a matter of conflict....this side versus this side. Two pieces of the puzzle.
Within looking at the current status of world affairs...

We have mostly centralized systems which are very organized and mostly efficient.

We have some not so well managed and organized decentralized systems which are less than efficient in handling very much demand.

There's a bit of a shift in the works.

We realize that if "power"..."control"...."regulation" is too centralized....then we have serious problems throughout the globe due to bottle necks of inefficiency in the management and distribution of resources throughout the world. Everything is effected. The way businesses operate when there's too much centralization....perpetuates and compounds the idea of competition to further centralize things and play out this zero sum game of just become bigger and better as the new monopoly winner.

Ironically this is where we get to the realization of how to optimize the co-existence of everyone here. We get to the realization of how to we harmonize the relationship between centralized systems and decentralized systems to provide and facilitate, "the best of both worlds".

The challenge with decentralized systems is organization and efficiency. See - a real problem today with decentralized systems is that every individual participant isn't thinking about being "altruistic" as a custodian and manager of the decentralized exchange. In fact - if you're business minded - it's more common to think big....to think, "I will create a company and I will become the central authority" and our company will be better than our competitors. We know how that narrative goes.

Binance is an interesting case study. A recent news report indicates that they are planning to create a decentralized exchange. Recently - Binance's centralized exchange was hacked. It is true that the security and protection of a decentralized system is not so vulnerable to attack and or destruction. What is interesting with Binance decision is that they see themselves as a responsibility for the decentralized exchange...where they become market makers so to speak....providing ample liquidity for the markets to be able to function in terms of exchange services available.

I think the example of Binance is a cool real world example...where we use centralization...and centralized structures to support the development and expansion of decentralized networks. This way we create and support efficiency in automation while providing top level customer service.

Perhaps increasingly so as we develop and mature in this world - we will use decentralization as a way to dictate the terms of centralized systems. That the very democratic process of 'centralized' systems becomes a point of management and responsibility of individuals as how we look after the overall governance as Harmony of the best distribution of resources and services.

I question...and even speculate that there's a tremendous need for small and medium size businesses to work in tandem...in compliment...in partnership with centralized systems. My thinking is that the small and medium size enterprises...businesses...companies...are mostly "decentralized"...and they work primarily with the centralized systems as their main "supply" lines.

Realistically, as we are seeing in the unfolding of world events...is that we need to work with what is here. We need all the support and assistance we can create. Example with cryptos is: Many people are begging for centralized control systems to step in as enforcement...to prevent the blatant frauds and scams.

It's like everything is in reverse to a certain extent and we require some reverse engineering here.

Centralized systems are the solution to support with the development and expansion of decentralized systems. Ultimately we want a strong network of decentralized systems....ways to make the movement of goods and services...support...resources easy and practical. If anything...centralized systems are designed to support the development, expansion and maturity of decentralized systems. It's like any system starts out very centralized....and it has the potential to develop autonomy as it develops and become a DAO - decentralized autonomous organization. In this regard the system acts as a prevention from corruption. In order to efficiently and effectively get to this point...we need and require a good centralized support structure and network...as way to make sure things are effectively managed/distributed/governed in the new systems infancy.

Maybe we will get to a point in time where decentralized systems...are able to create decentralized systems...but would that make the initial decentralized system now functioning as a centralized system of authority over the new decentralized thing....or is that an entirely new class of governance....where dentralized governance is looking after and managing the development of new decentralized systems.

Can we Open Source, Open Source?
Can we decentralize decentralization?

Is the ultimate form of Centralization Control and Regulation...to in fact exist as complete Decentralization of control and Regulation? Is this the basis for a truly free market economy...a playground to support our best plays working?

Will we open up as the Source?

Will we give ourselves permission?

Who's the Source?

LOL.

I think discussion about creative solutions as ways to best manage responsibility are of paramount importance

CHEERS TO OPEN SOURCE AND CREATIVE COLLABORATION

CHEERS TO AN EXTRAORDINARY YEAR

great technology.i agree with you.

that's pretty cool to know. thank for sharing

good post friends.

Bro you are right

i agree that in order to be adopted by the masses, some form of centralisation is needed in blockchain projects, to offer support and protection for example

Thought provoking post as always...I think most decentralized systems, are centralized, meaning controlled by a selected few. Think about it, the 1000 people or so that own 40% of bitcoin really control the price and ecosystem. If they don't like the rules, they fork and own and control that ecosystem. The whales on Steemit/ witnesses control the direction of where Steemit is heading...it is't me or you. Don't be fooled, like the individuals that own the wealth in the world, the individuals that have the most coins, followers, steem power, the most hash power, etc. are the ones really controlling what we call decentralized systems.

You've made a great postal post. Your post really liked me ... and I think, your post-making experience is very good ...... Thanks

So can we say 2018 is the year ;) i have full hopes this year is going to revolutionise the things :D

Awesome content,thats the reason why people rate you so high,you have a great future,all the best.

Decentralization is seen as a good thing in the cryptocurrency world. It turns anything that’s normally controlled by overbearing centralized authorities into a slippery eel that’s hard to shut down on. Decentralization system allow far more privacy than centralized system like google, facebook which collects enormous amount of data. Like as you said, the debate of centralized vs decentralized system is polarizing, both centralized and decentralized networks currently exist in popular platforms. Centralized platforms certainly have their time and place, especially for watching all activity on a network.
