This was a beautiful article! I don't dispute the goodness that a "good" central government can achieve, but I believe decentralization is a bit better for freedom.
A mix of the two however would, in my opinion be the best, where there's enough centralization to remove scams, but enough freedom that we can all live without fear.
Great post again!

Thanks! I am personally yet to see clear evidence that a 'better' government can achieve things better than a 'no government' would do - but we don't have a lot of data to go on because... governments don't tend to give up and go home - even as a friendly experiment.
I am reminded of the quote by Dan Larimer, co-inventor of Steem and EOS - his aim is to 'make governments irrelevant'. To do that we have to create something better AND get it noticed/used.
I totally agree. Trying to find the optimal balance between "good" centralized government and decentralization is like trying to find the perfect balance of socialism and capitalism. Good luck with that!
