Serious question, why do we give so much power to these tech firms such as Google, when really the solution is decentralization. We have some solutions for money with bitcoin, but there still doesn’t seem to be a viable alternative with a search engine that is decentralized?

      Bitcoin is digital cash - this is a quite complete analogy.

      Like cash, you can keep it in your possession, so you can lose it in a fire, or else you can put it in a bank.

          Nah there are lots of benefits, both for the society and the individual. That’s getting off topic though.

          I’m just saying you have options. You can have the same anti fire security as with fiat. In fact you can do all the same things with crypto as you can do with fiat cash, if you want to.
