The article is right to highlight risks from the growing use of custodial services, regulated endpoints, and infrastructure centralization, but it understates the persistent, robust ability for individuals to opt out and use #Bitcoin fully decentralized, censorship-resistant, and open-source as designed. The permissionless nature is not “allowed” — it persists as the network’s baseline, regardless of ongoing attempts to regulate, steer, or shape its use. https://controlplanecapital.com/p/is-bitcoin-decentralized-and-secure

Agree: the baseline stays permissionless. The real contest is the price of opting out. Measure decentralization by opt-out friction: count chokepoints between keys and broadcast, and note which dependencies you cannot swap out. Design target: a zero trust path that is simple - user held keys, your own node over Tor, offline PSBT signing, reproducible wallet builds, multi path broadcast. If that path takes hours or arcana, convenience centralization wins. What friction metric would you track first?
