> The entire blockchain world is focused on building systems for global consensus, but global consensus is a goal that is fundamentally at odds with the goal of decentralization.

This whole article starts by missunderstanding logical and operational decentralization. Blockchain tech succeeds in allowing developers that don't know each other come to a consensus about how a financial system should work (logical centralization) and then operate an instance of that in a completely trust less, participatory environment (complete operational decentralization).

This is "works as intended" and explicitly good. It shows that consensus on what is right can be achieved over an anonymous internet.

Based on that, I'd say improbable that anything insightfull remains inside this article.
