To you, I'm sure that's the case. Good thing the people who actually maintain the network through the validation of full nodes have a better understanding than you.

So your solution to pressures of centralization is to use a centralized service for decentralization?

I said it depends on how many people are connected and that it is such a trivial amount that it barely matters. Do you want to confront that?

How is -one option- to running a full node by paying for a cheap VPS centralization in any respect?

After you explain that, why don't you explain how there is so much torrent traffic zipping around the internet if this is such a big problem. Before streaming video and netflix, torrents were a major part of the internet's bandwidth. Completely decentralized and on a completely different scale of bandwidth, even over a decade ago. Are you going to explain why that was possible and this is impossible?

And I provided evidence that contradicts that unfounded belief.

If you have to explain that, you don't even have a concept of what decentralization means.

Because people don't care if their torrent takes a few hours to download, where in a multi-agent system with rigorous consensus rules, it's important that nodes are aligned as quickly as possible, because bitcoin block-propagation is an adversarial system that leads to orphaning, and potential loss of funds, when nodes aren't aligned. Yet again, to have to explain this O.o

You really don't understand this bitcoin thing at all. Like at all.

This all boils down to you trying hard not to say anything so you don't have to confront the hard numbers I gave you. You keep saying 'you don't understand' but that rings pretty hollow when you can't give any evidence that anything I've said is wrong.
