Fiat currencies not as Centralized, Bitcoin not as Decentralized, as you think (medium.com/metacurrency-project)

This is ridiculous. Anyone can go buy the hardware and actively be involved in the hashing and therefore production/operation of Bitcoin. What happens if I go set up a printer for USD? the two systems are absolutely fundamentally different. If centralized bank money is so great then why does it take 585 of the US ones to buy a single bitcoin?
