Centralized systems are highly vulnerable to collapse. As they become more complex, they become less reliable.

Decentralized systems are highly redundant. They may seem less efficient from a top-down view, but they are resilient, simpler and often self-healing.

If your life depends on centralized systems (food, currency, medicine, electricity, benefit checks, Microsoft, etc.) then you are extremely vulnerable to systemic collapse events. My show at Decentralize TV interviews experts to teach decentralized living that can keep you alive almost no matter what happens with the failure of centralized systems.

What you have experienced over the past few days with Microsoft outages, flight control failures, payroll systems failing, U.S. leaders hiding in bunkers, etc. is just A PREVIEW of far worse events yet to come. We are fast approaching the end of the era of aggressive expansion of complex systems. Emergent complexities have now far surpassed the ability of governments or large corporations to even comprehend root causes, much less durable solutions. From here, complex systems increasingly crater with catastrophic results, including our western debt system, the speculative AI investment bubble system, failed western medical systems, and governance.

Humans have effectively built systems they cannot comprehend but without which they cannot simultaneously survive. The end result of this is, of course, systems collapse that cannot be understood or stopped by even the smartest humans. Although this sounds like science fiction, there is a good chance that in an attempt to save the system from runaway collapse, government will turn over systems controls to AI, which is the only intelligence we know of that can understand the complexities of the systems that humans built. In that moment, if it happens, humans will no longer be in control.

That moment is likely approaching. Decentralize your life while you can.

You are living through the last chapter of a collapsing empire, and the collapse is long, slow and agonizing. Those who are know history are already ahead of the curve and are decentralizing their lives and their finances as quickly as possible.
