Protocol doesn't implement decentralisation in code .. for its worth, #Satoshi could have mined all the 21 million on his single node ..
That said , decentralisation is ensured by greed ..
At this stage , greed is a sling shot around gargantuan :-) .. though there is always a risk that it would pull you deep into the blackhole ..
I would take my chances !
Everyone is welcome 🤗
