RE: Centralization often works better than decentralization

in Project HOPE5 years ago

Excellent comment @awah

As a decentralised governing body that works effectively and efficiently could also choose to promote such fixes to deal with any issue. At least in the decentralised world, it would be with the majority vote of users.

The problem is that so far I've never experiences such a thing as "efficient decentralized governing body". It's always very unefficient.

Decentralization = lack of leadership, lack of one vision and plan, lack of anyone responsible for failures. And it means slow decision making process.

Finally, the forked H community have a problem that even though they claim to be decentralised, the power is in reality held with a small set of powerful users
You nailed it.

I agree with this as many good ideas do not come to fruition because they haven't got people at the helm to drive through adoption. As soon as you start rewarding those who contribute you are back to power in a few hands. So in a political sense, decentralisation is difficult to achieve. It is a utopian idea.
