Crypto isn’t decentralized, it’s centralized around miners and exchanges.
It never was decentralized.
It’s not decentralized when a single person can manipulate the markets at his will.
@chrujmn That's because ABC doesn't feel they need to get any feedback from the community. They just announce what's going to happen along with code release. When questioned, their answer is always: "this was already discussed and we've decided".
