Decentralisation: Why Is Everyone So Obsessed With This Now?

Is crypto really decentralised or is it just slightly better than the current system? In Episode #273 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: a blog post highlighting decentralisation issues, why we have collectively decided that servers are too hard to operate on our own, why this is not a binary issue and is more of a scale, not needing to have every aspect of your life distributed and why we were a bit scattered on this topic.
