Decentralisaion
A modern take on the old ledger
transparency
- What am I missing/ wrong on please pps?
I'm not sure what you understand from the points made above. The blockchain is not simply a ledger. It's a publicably accessible, immutable ledger(except for 51% attack) which is not controlled by a central authority.
Publicably accessible, for instance, is not necessarily equal to transparent.
Decentralization does not mean - not controlled by a central authority, nor does it mean non-editable or non-reversible.
We can, when looking at the blockchain see that wallet A made a transaction of amount X with wallet B on a particular date/time.
If Wallet A is a charity -- we can clearly see how much it received, where they spent their funds and how much they have in reserve. If the charity decides to reveal it's wallets and transactions we can then say that there is transparency. But, without, the charity revealing this information there isn't much transparency.
DNS is decentralized but there is a central authority governing its actions.
