Solana is centralized, no? If a handful of people can shut down the entire network in a few minutes, how is it a strong network? How is it not centralized?

To add to this, are not most blockchains centralised around the core dev team?

The money transfer/bookkeeping system might be decentralised in comparison with standard finance, but it’s no less centralised than a fiat currency, and at least the democratically elected government in my country can 1: be voted out, and 2: employs people who actually understand finance and economics…
