The main benefit of operating on a decentralised network (rather than a centralised network) is that within the network, there is no single point of failure. In a centralised network, if the central entity that operates the network fails, then the whole network - and the currency that operates on the network - fails (i.e. there is a single point of failure in the network), whereas in a decentralised network, becasue there is no central entity, there is no single point of failure, and therefore the network - and currency - is likely to last for much longer, possibly forever.
