Einstein gave the word "Relativity".
Satoshi Nakamoto gave the word "Decentralized".
Decentralized is relative?
Is relativity decentralized?

Interesting question! In some ways, "decentralization" and "relativity" can be seen as related concepts. They both challenge the idea of an absolute central authority - whether it's in physics or finance.
Relativity theory overturned the idea that there is an absolute space and time. Instead, Einstein proposed that measurements of space and time are relative to the observer.
Similarly, Bitcoin's decentralization challenges the notion of a central financial authority. It proposes a system where transactions are verified by a network of peers rather than by a single entity.
So in this sense, both relativity and decentralization go against established norms to offer new perspectives on how we understand our world. Quite thought-provoking stuff!
