Bitcoin is not anonymous and governments can't control Bitcoin unless they hijack the blockchain which is impossible. And in terms of decentralization Bitcoin is less and less decentralized. Zencash is leading the crypto industry with decentralization.
I hope in 2018 you will understand that Bitcoin is not anonymous dude.
That's certainly true, mate. Bitcoin is NOT anonymous by design. While Bitcoin addresses don't explicitly show your name or personal information, they can be linked to your identity if you frequently use a single address on the network. Not only that, but it's possible to view the balances of each address and where did payments originate or where did they go to. As such, privacy coins like Zencash, ZCash, and Bitcoin Private are the best choice to remain anonymous. In terms of decentralization, I must admit that Bitcoin is not fully decentralized compared with some coins in existence to date. This is because, there have been a few players in the mining space which have the most dominance in hashrate within the Bitcoin network. Effectively, ASIC mining equipment and big mining pools, have made Bitcoin centralized one way or the other.
In contrast, coins like Zencash and Ravencoin are decentralized simply because they're ASIC-resistant and have well-distributed nodes across the world (like Zencash). With Zencash's Secure Nodes incentives, it encourages everyday people into running a full node for ZEN to make the network stronger and better than ever. Therefore, in the end, decentralized systems will win, while centralized ones might fail in the long-term. Just my thoughts
