I just opened this community as I couldn’t find any good bitcoin place in the fediverse. This surprises me, as a decentralized communications platform seems like a natural ally for a decentralized currency.
The bitcointalk forum and /r/bitcoin are both pretty centralized. I’ll try to post interesting content I see, and hopefully more people will contribute.
Didn’t follow Bitcoin anymore for many years. Isn’t it more or less centralized too by now?
Could you elaborate why you think so?
Just to give some ideas: https://sci-hub.wf/10.1109/snpd.2015.7176229
There’s one idea presented in that awfully outdated paper, and it’s not really a concern. When separate entities collaborate to work more efficiently that’s not centralization, it’s temporary and good for business.
