Hello Everyone,
Starting today, we at ADSactly will be making daily posts on our Steemit account. The posts will revolve around the topics of crypto currencies, networks, and decentralization.
For the first post, I would like to touch on the topic of Decentralization .
Decentralization: A General Overview
The idea of decentralization begins with the core principals of shared liberty, freedoms, and opportunities. When a society or organization is decentralized everyone in that organization is given an equal playing field. The opposite is true for a centralized society, when a society is centralized it leads to only a small number of people receiving any and all benefits from the system, leaving everyone else behind.
The reason we at ADSactly love decentralization so much is that our community, from the top down, is made up of people who feel at that the current system of monetary centralization is unfair and unkind. We understand the value each and every member brings to the table and we wish to provide the ladder for individuals who decide to join our movement the opportunities to excel in their given field. In essence, ADSactly is built by the everyman and is for the everyman and we encourage new users to join our community and chat with our team. We look forward to getting to know you!

Centralized System [a] vs. Decentralized System [b]
Thanks,
ADSactly Community
Looking forward to helping ADSactly bring all of the goals to fruition. Thank you for appointing me community leader, I won't let us down!

"decentralized" as a term is fine. That picture above the label "decentralized" has a center and is therefore not centralized. I would wager that decentralized and distributed are synonyms.

Yes, however BITCOIN is actually an Autonomous Decentralized Distributed Value Network. We suppose you could say we are following the Developments and Experiments that BITCOIN and the rest of the Cryptoverse are trying. We have Upvoted your comment and appreciate your comments and suggestions.

It can do but it doesn't have to. You just have to look at bitcoin and steem to understand that. Those who are already wealthy gain far more from either system than those who are poor. A wealthy person can simply invest a lot of money into steem, a poor person needs to grind on a daily basis. Wealthy people can censor poor people on steem.
How is that an equal playing field?

Hi adsactly, I have to agree with @everittdmickey.
The network diagram you show labeled B does not give everyone in the organization an equal playing field.
Linking some really valuable info on network effects that I learned about in college. You may be interested to take a look!
Your centralized network actually does equalize all nodes (except of course the central one) given that the central node is impartial (e.g. assuming that the length of the edges has no significant meaning). However this can be really harmful for the reasons you alluded to.
The distributed network however, gets you much closer to a fair and equal system because each node has some way to get information from at least 2 other nodes.
This is actually really important, because it gives the node a choice in the way in which they participate within the organization.
In diagram B the choice is participate or don't, which seems unfair.
The problem with the distributed network is that some nodes who are more central have more influence, however, information can travel much more fluidly. This could be good or bad or neutral. (You might think of it like a disease. The more connected everyone is the higher chance each individual will get it. Though if you have two 'diseases' that contradict each other it may not be all that bad.
What do you think?

Superb initiative!
The decentralization made available with the blockchain will do so much more than just empowering freedom, it will also fuel innovation. Especially when combined with the open-source. Entrepreneurs close to the problem they observe can rapidly prototype new solutions and all participants in the chain will benefit from other people's innovation strengthening the quality of the system.
Really beautiful! Wish you guys all the best of luck, and look forward to following you regularly!

Before WWI everyone was poor except a couple of really really rich folks. Industrialisation brought along the idea of commercial farming and factories, mass production. Gone were apprenticeships. Government sponsored schooling became the order of the day.
The world is kind of returning to a pre-industrial revolution age, where people are once again starting to "farm" on their own. This time in the form of solopreneurship - digital nomads if you will....

Decentralization is the true answer for most of our political and economic problems!
Just like the crypto world brings us inovations and new technologies every day, all society could do the same if we think of new ways of solving problems without asking the government's help!

Decentralised has to have incentive to survive. I think people are still too uncertain about each other to trust.
The majority still need Centralisation to keep them secure . It's a shame but nation states will be needed for a few more decades.
When the Humans see the Robot's commencing in a decentralised network environment , only then will they realise the Centralised shield is a blocker too true freedom .

There is a theory I heared in presentation of Joshua Cooper Ramo at the Blockchain Valley Conference in Switzerland, Zuerich that things start decentralized but than tend to centralizes automatically in certain "cluster" nodes. The example he brought was the internet. It started decentralized but today the internet seems to be google, amazon, facebook & co. So not so decentralized as you might think.
I wonder if we will experience something similar regarding blockchains.

I would also make the case for distributed organization.. and not just for the social utility. I believe the economic infrastructure should reflect our biological infrastructure. We don’t yet formally believe in distributed cognition, although some insect studies support this suggestion. But the reality is staggeringly beyond that. We are and emerge from biocognitive hypersystems. That is what nature ‘is’, and what those ‘are’ is more than the sum of what science or religion has ever been able to dream. The society you live in can shape the complexity of your brain--and the society you create and invent ... can re-shape the complexity of your brain. More rapidly than you can possibly imagine.

I think you're dreaming about a decentralized or even distributed society. The only reason why you consider this is because you believe that all people are equal and "just want to survive in harmony and be happy". That belief will get you killed in a decentralized society. Man is bad, man does nothing unless he gets something in return - it is the nature of our beast. Someone has to hold people accountable for their actions and without it there is chaos and you end up with a society like Mexico or any other Latin American country.

Often it happens that a centralized society ends up being decentralized, just as it also happens that a decentralized society happens to be centralized. Such is the case of my country Venezuela, in which years ago everything was totally decentralized in many areas, such as politics and economy for example, life for people was better. To date, all these factors and society in general have been centralized by the current government in the country, causing people to fully depend on the system, bringing many unfavorable consequences.
Is very good your publication friend, gives us much to relfexionar. I follow you. Greetings.
