ok show me a part of the network that is Centralized and the problem it's causing.
I never said that it was causing any problems right now. Stop diverting the argument.

They're not wrong. Centralization is already a problem.

wtf is wrong with you?
Centralization is a problem != centralization is causing problems. Stop grasping straws trying to undermine my arguments. If you do not want to properly contribute, then do not do so at all.


Clarification update:
Centralization is a problem - In other words, the node count is going down and the mining is centralized via a few pools (China being the one with most hashrate). (bad) Example of centralization causing problems - Nodes are impossible to run on average hardware; i.e. they need a data center (might as well use Google). Decentralization is one of the main feats of Bitcoin. Rhetorical question: Would you feel comfortable if the whole network was running on Amazon and Google cloud services?


Update 2:
No, that is not a datacenter. There is no incentive to run a node, what exactly are you talking about?
