      ab: The article explores how the decentralization promised by the originators of blockchain is still present in applications as of 2023. Particular focus is given to decentralization in the blockchain finance and blockchain art sectors. Other topics discussed include non-fungible tokens (NFTs), centralized servers such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the author's view that not everyone will have the will, skill, and time to adapt to interdisciplinary fields such as blockchain.
