I find in this article the answers to some thoughts that I was having about centralized companies offering products/tokens that they're saying are decentralized.
My thoughts were if they develop these platforms through their centralized companies then don't that make their platform centralized.

I live in the USA so this is of concern to me, as when tax time roll around. Does my crypto becomes taxable even though I have not turned it into USD? I did taxes for many years and crypto opens up a whole new thought for tax situations. I'm studying more about this but find myself with more qurstions then answers.

Back on topic, centralized decentralized does not make sense to me. if the company is centralized, I think of there offerings as centralized even if their platform is supposed to be decentralized.

The money their investing has to be accounted for, so they can't hide it in decentralization.
