I think it is centralized, otherwise how can I protect multiple transactions? so we're back to centralization again
If the bitcoin transaction is centered, it will return to the government policy that has been carried out, where there are regulations issued by the central bank that make the owner of bitcoin no different from the owner of fiat money. For the government, it is good because there is monitoring, and trying to find an agreement to be able to collect taxes.

Do not question the work of a fully decentralized or fully centralized system. This is the choice between off-network private transactions and off-network second-level transactions with a system that does not require trust.
In my opinion bitcoin clearly implements a decentralized system, because indeed its main purpose is to divide the server from centralized to each computer with the aim of minimizing fraud and inefficiency.
