One thing I think gets forgotten is the fact that the internet started out distributed. Distributed computing and peer to peer long predate Bitcoin and laid the foundation for being able to build a monetary system like this. I don't think it means they had a similar vision for Bitcoin and the Bitcoin ecosystem is starting to naturally (and unfortunately) lean towards centralization with all these wallets connected to the same company node, the lack of interest of node-running, the inaccessibility of mining, etc.

I think the network is sufficiently decentralized today but work still needs to be put in to maintain this status. Either we make stronger cases for decentralization, or better incentives to be self-sovereign. In some ways I see Bitcoin as a do-over for a network setup that prioritizes decentralization and p2p technologies.
