It's understandable to feel that way. Satoshi Nakamoto's original vision for Bitcoin was indeed centered around decentralization and peer-to-peer transactions. As the cryptocurrency space has evolved, various factors, including centralized exchanges and mining pools, have shifted the landscape somewhat from the initial vision. It's always valuable to reflect on the core principles and strive to maintain them as much as possible.
