On why decentralisation matters

They start off half-baked, but how is it possible that they have a chance of winning?

For years we centralised everything, so why would you decentralise again? We see it in energy, but also with blockchain, decentralisation matters. It helps the participants in a decentralised system to work towards a common goal.

I find it interesting that so many parallels exist on this concept for both the energy system and blockchain. Also in an old article, on why decentralisation has a solid chance of succeeding:

 

“Decentralized systems start out half-baked but, under the right conditions, grow exponentially as they attract new contributors.” - Why Decentralisation Matters

 

An old article that I just recently discovered, still full of truths and inspiration for others.
