| What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit? |
A decentralized network is a subset of a distributed system. The main difference is how/where the decision gets made and how the information is shared throughout the control nodes in the system. Decentralized means that there is no single point where the decision is made. I believe the more decentralized the better, but I'm not against centralised systems in some applications. |

In order to empower normal people, and allow a free society to thrive and grow without the shackles and limitations of our current system in terms of how our data is used against us and monetized without our consent or ability to benefit. |
