Hello dear friend @bobinson, a great piece of reading, very good explanation starting from the restaurant analogy.

In my opinion, blockchain sold very well as a decentralized system, however, in practice it is very difficult to really define what the level of decentralization that each chain has and in steem it is shown that there is no such decentralization.

Also, I don't know to what extent total decentralization is really good.

Thank you for sharing my friend and welcome to the Project Hope family.
