If everything is truly decentralized and there are tons of options, the net value in those options will approach zero because they're all interchangeable. Thus, I agree that decentralization and money cannot be the same goal.

Blockchains actually are decentralized.

Exchanges are centralized but even then there's dozens to choose from.

Plenty of people exchange crypto for goods and services directly without converting to fiat.

It's almost like this argument is talking past itself and ignoring the reality on the ground.
