I prefer to use decentralization because it is more independent than centralized control. The blockchain technology used by bitcoin is one proof that decentralization is safer because the servers are in many computers so cannot be manipulated or hacked.
Same. Decentralization is the key of success for any blockchain-based cryptocurrency to date. If that is taken away, then the blockchain would serve no real purpose, as it would bring back the middleman similar to the traditional banking system, we've been used to for quite some time. We've all seen how Ripple and EOS have been extremely manipulated by their players, either freezing accounts or limiting access to the "blockchain" at will. Eventually, these centralized systems might fail in the long term if people use decentralized systems at a greater level.
As for Bitcoin, being the original cryptocurrency, which started it all, it should retain its decentralized model forever. Because, if it turns out to become centralized, then I'm afraid that it won't be admired by people who're looking into financial sovereignty. Despite this, Bitcoin could have a great future ahead of it, if it continues to be backed by its community while retaining its decentralization. Just my thoughts
