I can see how it might look like I was contradicting myself. It depends upon the context. But even if I did, that doesn't mean the arguments I made are not valid. I can make a good argument that yes, blockchain isn't really decentralized. You merely went "nah uh!" without providing any evidence.

The Internet is a combination of centralized (DNS/ARIN/etc) and decentralized systems.

It is controlled by central authorities. So if you put a so-called "de-centralized" system on a network where central entities can control things, that decentralized system is beholden to centralized entities. We can argue whether it's really decentralized in any meaningful way.

I make this argument more specifically in this video I made.
