To achieve complete decentralization, it is necessary that the environment around the blockchain also be decentralized. The blockchain is a distributed ledger that runs on top of conventional systems. These elements include storage, communication, and computation. There are other factors, such as identity and wealth, which are traditionally based on centralized paradigms, and there's a need to decentralize these aspects as well in order to achieve a sufficiently decentralized ecosystem.
