I made a little Venn diagram because I was so confused about DAOs, community-ownership, crypto and internet businesses, etc. 

I'll do a write up soon, but want to sense-check with the world. Does this look right?

love this!

I'd quibble though with the notion that decentralization is primarily about decision-making. To me, decentralization wrt DAOs is primarily about executive power. Decision-making is a component of that, but IMO its possible to have decentralized executive power with some centralization in decision-making.

Yea, decentralization is a property that multiple aspects of an organization or system can have, and each is a spectrum

interesting point! I agree with that. 

another thing to point out is that "decentralized" is a spectrum, so to a large extent there will be degrees of "decentralized-ness" to a business, and maybe that's what you're pointing out?
