Bitcoin Q&A: Do “crypto-banks” threaten hard money? − 稼げる投資系口コミ情報サイト【Trade Center】

Do custodial “crypto-banks” threaten bitcoin’s potential as hard money? Being a banker, having a banking license, or being a financial regulator makes you a great thief. Can blockchains change governance in governments? People are misusing the term “blockchain” to mean “database,” and fundamentally their business models are not about decentralisation. The problems in democracy have more to do with voter disenfranchisement and apathy about the blue vs. red Goldman Sachs.

These questions are from from a talk which took place on October 11th 2018 as part of the three-day HoshoCon event at Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada: https://www.hoshocon.com
