In other news a decentralized system can be replaced by a centralized system. I don’t think it’s a very useful point.

It's very "faster horse" syndrome. If people wanted to see the actual applicability of decentralized systems, they'd look into what's happening the early stages of the Ethereum platform building, specifically decentralized finance. But it's easier to just say "blockchain is a bad MySQL" and get 100 upvotes.

Exactly! Why don't we let Google manage all of our email in a single database. It's a way better system! ;)
