So the system would be centralized...

Also the fact that scams already exist on the stock market doesn't automatically greenlight crypto-ing the whole thing. Though I don't think that's exactly what they were trying to do, is it? Sounds like they just wanted to slap a trade ledger on a block chain? Centralizing that would defeat the whole purpose of a blockchain.

Also I just caught that you said decentralized cryptos are more likely to be scams? I'm not following that line of thought.

I wrote about this previously https://awful.systems/post/1695710

yeah it was literally to use it as the back-end database for the settlement system
