What is the line for “real” vs “not real” decentralization?
I always understood it as a system has to be decentralized “enough” to overcome censorship, system failures, etc. That’s mostly impossible to quantify until the system is put under pressure in a real world scenario… but it is possible to identify systems which by design are not decentralized.
