Decentralized VS Distributed [Blockchain VS DLT]

Decentralized VS Distributed #blockchain. Many blockchain enthusiasts think that "distributed" is the ultimate state of decentralization. Such a misunderstanding was created by the popular image by P.Baran (created in 1964) that illustrated 3 types of networks: centralized, decentralized and distributed - which is not even about computer networks but a radio communication (!) and the research was about resilience of such networks to withstand a possible Soviet Union attack.

Decentralization and distribution are features of different nature. That's why permissioned/private DLTs even being distributed are not decentralized.

Does cryptocurrency have an intrinsic value? Can blockchain exist without cryptocurrency?

Thanks for making this video! It can be very difficult to understand these terms correctly. As a point of interest, Epic Cash is fully distributed, with all nodes (<4GB) equal to each other, and coins fungible. At 5:30 you spoke about mining and state that a PC cannot compete. In Epic, mining is decentralized to users' home PCs with polyphasic POW algorithms to strengthen the network

Hmm, quite interesting. thanks for sharing. I can't fighure out though, is the BNB Chain a distributed one, or decentralized...? Thx
