FORKING ≠ DECENTRALIZATION.
Bitcoin Core has hundreds of contributors, public review, and global adoption.
Knots is maintained by one person with custom filters, calling that “more decentralized” just because it’s different is misleading.
Decentralization means many users freely choosing between well-reviewed, consensus-respecting software -not one person pushing personal changes without broad support.
Core is dominant because it’s trusted, not because it’s forced.
That’s decentralization in action.
