I can assure you that if Bitcoin wasn't decentralised by design (which is like saying 'if this wooden desk wasn't made of wood'), it'd likely be better than whatever you're talking about by a wide margin.
In fact, half the people in here could build you something better than Bitcoin if you just took away that darn decentralisation aspect.
Why the hate? The OP had an interesting comment about working on a project 30 years ago that is still a problem being worked on today. BTC would have been a pretty spectacular fail in the 1980s, different times call for different solutions.
You don't even know what is he talking about.
