O que é Centralisation risk?
The concentration of mining, custody, development or infrastructure into few enough hands to create a systemic weakness.
Bitcoin's guarantees rest on distributed enforcement. Concentration in mining pools, in custody of exchange-traded products, or in the small number of implementations most nodes run all narrow that base in different ways.
These are trade-offs worth reporting rather than either dismissing or catastrophising. Concentration that is reversible — miners can switch pools — is different from concentration that is not.
