Bitcoin is plenty decentralized. Coinbase deals with dollars, that's the non-decentralized part.

so, the part that makes bitcoin useful to 99% of the people is the non-decentralized part.

Sounds like an appendix.

Only because of US law. It didn't have to be this way; the US wanted to destroy Bitcoin as a currency because it threatened their surveillance state, and they effectively have.

No entity is obligated to enforce contracts in BTC. The real reason what makes a currency valuable.

Btc whales want to destroy the dollar because it benefits them.

Neither the dollar or crypto are anything but social illusions, neither have an inherent right to exist.

It’s just people manipulating people. Such an intellectually dishonest forum to sit here and discuss meaningless layers of obfuscation.

The most important thing to any individual is enough other humans around their own life isn’t so hard. Specific humans, like those on this forum, are not essential.

You all can bleat on as hard as you want about the existence of crypto but it’s not an evenly distributed belief. And your individual value is non existent to the majority on the planet. No reason to prop up your hallucinations
