The whale manipulates its value and is so easily manipulated. Is this decentralization?
What do you think about Bitcoin now?
It was decentralized since before and nothing had changed despite saying a manipulated price. Don't get doubt about it, Bitcoin remains uncontrollable but we are not sure for the next 100 years (if that still exists). I know that things can be changed depending on the development and market demand. And it won't be possible to happen if the community will agree and voted to have it change to a centralized platform.
But until this time, it was 100% decentralized.
