What is Decentralization? Decentralization is important because building systems that distribute power is important. Building systems that resist abuses of power is important. In it's simplest definition, decentralization is the degree to which an entity within the system can resist coercion and still function as part of the system. Now be careful, coercion doesn't mean force, it means negative incentives to align with an authority.
