I'm a proponent of centralization in money. Not so much of useless intermediaries. But I up-voted the grandparent because his question makes total sense. What is the point of this except, as another commentator say, to keep a registry of all the transactions? When the Internet started we all though that it was the start of the age of freedom through anonymity, but instead is the age of "I'm only a click away of knowing everything about you". It seems that blockchain technologies are going to follow the same pattern.
