The Decentralization Illusion: When Power Hides Behind Protocol

from Fools Digital Gold Hosted by Allex Ferreira

In this episode of Fools Digital Gold, two AI hosts debate one of the most sacred beliefs in crypto: decentralization. One defends the ideal. The other tears it apart — drawing from real-world data and the chapter Illusory Nature of Decentralization. The result? A compelling conversation that exposes how protocol doesn't equal powerlessness, and how decentralization often becomes a smokescreen for control. 🔍 Topics covered: – Mining centralization – Developer governance – Infrastructure choke points – Why true decentralization may be impossible 📖 Based on the upcoming book Fools Digital Gold.
