Yeah, yeah, I know that I'm on blockchain for more than 5 years, and still ask such questions, but really, when I see everyone talking about it, I would like to understand the real meaning of that !

Let's suppose I just joined the blockchain, I'm new here, and not even a native English speaker who doesn't understand the meaning of all English words. And I'm already not a native speaker, and I learned about this word only after joining steem.

So, the first thing I would do as a non-native speaker, is going to google and find the meaning of the word. So, it's saying :

the transfer of control of an activity or organization to several local offices or authorities rather than one single one.

I guess they meant the lack of control at all, or it should include control anyway ? They confuse me as well. I thought decentralization is when people can decide what they want, but not a few telling them what to do.

When I was new to all this, I just thought that decentralization is not letting the government involve in everything. Then I thought that decentralization not letting others tell you what to do. Maybe I was wrong, or still wrong really I don't understand.

I'm inspired to write about this after reading the post of @fervi here : Should we get rid of .....

Here is a part of the comment I left there :

I see votes based on stake not Decentralization for me. Maybe I'm wrong ? Money talks is Decentralization ? Interesting. Maybe I need to learn more.

Also, I would like to share this post : The new mayor is as bad as the old mayor. It's kind of actual by the way. Where I commented with the following :

That's why I don't like anything to be based completely on vote. It's like giving credit to the most, while others also have to have a place to be. Let's imagine 51% voted for ''punishing'' someone and 49% said no. Should the person be ''punished'' only based on that ? I think no. There should be evidences, and many other things considered. Maybe it's a hard topic to talk about, but really basing our lives only on votes could be a slippery slope.

Maybe I'm mistaken, I really don't know, those are just my crazy ideas. lol

Anyone can answer me :

What is decentralization ?
