Decentralization is abstract. 
But control is concrete.
Who is in control of a digital system?
Can someone delete you?
If they can, it’s centralized.
If they can’t, it’s decentralized.

Why is decentralization important?
Because control is important.

Who is in charge
Who has root access
Who is the system administrator
Who has the final say
And do you have a say…over who has say

These aren’t just abstract technical questions, they are concrete political questions.

This is why crypto is inherently political.

It takes the endless, eternal human question — who is in charge? — and expresses it in code and puts it on the internet.

Who is in charge is an intrinsically political question, even if the answer is “no one”.

Noooo don’t tip them off. Seriously is it better for the political nature of crypto to be kept quiet as possible or best to advertise and have the fight sooner?

Intuitively it seems like the slow silent creep of the technology is more effective to catch the institutions  off guard
