Should the technology of our financial system transition to a decentralized protocol, that is not owned or controlled by any corporation, similar to the internet?

Yes

Yes, but only if it’s truly decentralised and cannot be manipulated by any person, group, or government agency

No, and I don’t understand the concept of decentralised finance

Yes, but I would prefer if the protocol was created and secured by a government agency instead of a decentralised protocol

Yes, this could reduce income inequality by providing more transparency and inclusive access to financial services

I am leaning towards yes, but this uses a lot of processing power and therefore energy

No, because banking systems should be subject to government regulation, and should not have an outsized environmental impact

I don’t understand the concept of decentralised finance.
