The system is already getting compromised, as we know now that there are many centralized exchanges and those centralized exchanges has huge amounts of users.
The issues is not about an entity Trying to make bitcoin centralized the real issue is that the centralized is already taking place right in front of us.
I don't think it's a big deal if people use the Bitcoin protocol to create different things. It's open source, so anyone can do whatever they want with it. And honestly, I'm cool with there being a bunch of centralized exchanges, as long as people can choose which one they want to use. Ultimately, the market will decide which ones succeed and which ones don't. It's kind of like how multi-party democracy works in many countries.
If there was only one entity that controlled everything in the Bitcoin ecosystem, then that would be an example of centralization. It would mean that all decision-making power and control would be concentrated in the hands of that entity, and users would have little or no say in how the system operates.
We need to face many problems and try to educate those that are ignorant about the dangers of using a centralized exchange and try to suggest to the a better decentralized option.
I totally agree with you! But still, everyone should be able to choose what works best for them. Some folks might be into DEXs, but others might prefer centralized exchanges 'cause they have some cool perks that DEXs don't. It's totally up to each person to choose which exchange they wanna use based on their own preferences. The same goes for payment processors used by merchants and other services on the Bitcoin network. And that's one of the great things about open source - it allows for a variety of options and choices for people to use and benefit from.
