Well, as I suspected, I believe you meant the way Bitcoin has been tried to be weakened with centralised systems and regulation? It's indeed alarming, and I will always say that in many spheres now, Bitcoin is highly indirectly decentralised. Bitcoin will always have the decentralised structure, but the privacy and somewhat anonymity it was designed for are being defeated by centralised arrangements and regulations.
It can only get worse!
