So is bitcoin. Only 3 or 4 companies own the majority of mining.

Companies on the internet are centralized, but not the internet itself.

Yeah, Bitcoin-based consensus probably isn't the best choice for a project like this. I'd love to see a project that uses non-blockchain (but similarly publicly immutable) tech, like Nano or Iota.

Still some issues with centralisation (since consesus is achieved through vote delegates), but that's much easier to fix than redistributing hashpower.
