Are you seriously pitching me the DAO, like I don't know it was one of the biggest exit scams in all of Cryptocurrency History?
Listen, you ETH guys worship Vitalik and walk around pounding that koolaid that you give us all that work in the space a bad name, give it a rest... I mean it, money is something ETH just isn't good at. In fact, I still cannot see any value or a usecase in ETH to this day besides a bunch of pump and dump schemes that tarnish what BTC and other alts have done.
I was forced to use solidity and hyperledger at an enterprise level for a megacorp, tied what the ripple and stellar idiots that were brought on without my consent to a project I had been brought no I had no choice but to leave the project and the Industry for some time. We had to loss weeks/months of work to make something that had worked in BTC (multi-sig escrow) for years just because it sounded better if it had a functionality in those 3 useless alts.
To this day I still cannot believe Vitalik, a former Unsystem developer, didn't just make this all up and his hiding all of exit scam money to contribute to the BTC network in some way; none of it adds up at all, how do you from squatting and working on FOSS in Spain to being best buddies with Putin? Chances are had he just held onto a fraction of his BTC from back then they'd all be millionaires since 2017.
But to answer you question:
Centralized currency: The means to issue and control the medium of exchange in any system (eg: civilization, country) and impose arbitrary and even malicious actions to detriment of those who reject or oppose your currency. Often a role held by Nation States and by extension Central Banks that preclude said entities.
