RE: What decentralization means to me
Well said Pineapple head @whatamidoing.
The way I see it, is that large groups have great difficulty in coming to concensus, unless very well organised. The Matrix-8 Platform https://steempeak.com/c/hive-153630/
is the only system I know of and have examined well which fits the bill to help us organise very well and achieve concentrated actionable accords voted upon by the whole community. Small group of eight people (8-PAC's - 8 people in active communication) meet online, anonymously, discuss, deliberate and reach a consensus for an actionable accord. They then elect a delegate to speak for them in an 8-PAC including seven other elected delegates from seven other 8-PAC's, who do the same, thus concentrating an actionable accord.
There can be unlimited members. It takes eleven levels to include the entire human population of planet earth.
With Matrix-8 in place as a system of governance for #Hive, we will be not only leaders in the Blockchain world, but will help lead humanity back to the "garden of Eden" where we will once more have peace and abundance for all.
Namaste
