Its specific to the kind of blockchain/DLT that it runs on. If you use an DEX that doesn't rely on miners who can pick Tx then you dont have this problem. For example the XRPL DEX does not allow any party to pick which order to ex

Its the other way around. Money is just a made up thing to reduce friction in the economy. Think of an economy where people would still need to "buy" stuff with other stuff. That would waste a lot more energy and straight out woul

But you dont need PoW for being decentralized, permission less and censorship resistant. See https://xrpl.org/carbon-calculator.html instead and ignore visa/mastercard PoW is still the worst even worse than than paper

Half of them are debatable and the rest is true but useless. You gain nothing from using a system that's 12 year old over one that's 6 years old. Also more nodes just dont add any usefulness anymore at some point, it just more not

Well they could become an integral part, so nothing wrong with that. However it would not be bitcoin. The projects who actually work with financial institutions have one thing in common, they dont use PoW. You can read it every day, most po

Permissioned in that case simply means private (you need a permission to participate). It does not mean non-distributed. It also doesn't mean any entity with permission can add anything and its accepted. That would just be a shared
