Will true decentralization ever be achieved?

Decentralization - the ultimate goal of modern internet development. Will it be able to leverage blockchain and peer-to-peer networks to shift power from central authorities to communities, promoting collective trust and transparency?

21% Yes – True decentralization is achievable. Innovative technologies and evolving governance models can eventually overcome centralized power structures.

22% No – It’s unlikely true decentralization will ever be realized. Challenges like scalability, economic incentives, and inherent human tendencies toward hierarchy may always lead to some centralization.

43% It depends – It may depend on the definition and context. The feasibility of true decentralization can vary depending on how it is defined across technical, political, and social contexts.

12% Unsure – I need more information before deciding. The complexities and evolving nature of decentralization leave some uncertain until further evidence and developments emerge.
