Bitshares doesn't count, as its not a fully decentralized transactional system by design

The statement above is ironic to me because if you consider DPoS not decentralized, that would mean you also consider PoW and PoS not decentralized, meaning Emunie would be the only decentralized system. Why do I say this? All you need to do is compare the three systems: PoW, PoS, and DPoS (Bitshares)

I remember Bytemaster making statement that Bitshares is not decentralized. Has anything changed?

How exactly do you quantify the word "decentralized"? He refers to Bitshares DPoS as a distributed autonomous company, but if you read my post above and disect the real workings of PoW vs PoS vs DPoS, all three are using delegation. Lots of people like to claim anything that uses delegation can't be decentralized, but Anonymint and I have made many points to show that's false. He even went as far as stating he's delegating his transfer of packets to his ISP. What's next? Anyone using an ISP isn't decentralized no matter what the coin is?

Delegation is all about economy of scale. Systems that use it are achieving higher performance or less waste and will outperform systems not using it in the free market.

Fuserleer claims to not be doing this to achieve his performance. In reality, he's basically created a big video game with lots of arbitrary variables and some rudimentary AI (challenge system) to try and automatically grade the players. Will it work? Nobody knows. Game theory approach vs video game approach, battle of the century.
