I don't necessarily agree...
I want widespread crypto, because I want to have the autonomy to initiate transfers myself, transparency of my accounts, easier back office, less payment middlemen, etc.
Yet I would like a state managed crypto (e-euro?) so that a fraudulous transfer, stolen wallet, etc can be canceled.
- We're in 2022 and I still can't have an API with my bank to analyze my purchases, I have to parse PDF monthly reports.
- I still can't automate my savings without a third party robo advisor than requires me giving my account credentials.
- I can't easily make FX swaps without a third party broker with 2 days wire transfers in/out.
- I can't swap without a brokerage margin account.
etc.
Centralized crypto? yes please, it's still better than the current state of affairs.
Not everyone lives in Europe or the US with fancy worldwide smart banking. Here in HK, banks are from the 90s. Crypto centralized would level the banking experience to the current century.
- alex7o 4y agoSadly the US is not that far ahead anyway, you also need to provided your bank credentials too. But yes the UK is light years ahead of everybody. But I am not sure centralized crypto would solve this, technically speaking crypto is a ledger. Banks also have ledgers but centralized, but you still don't have api control over that.
- spaceman_2020 4y agoI know it's not for everyone, but I love all the exotic synthetic financial products that can be built on top of crypto. Why should exotic synthetic financial products only be the realm of Wall Street?
