    Does Australia have High Frequency Trading (HFT)? If so, can you imagine the resources impact (electricity, computer, etc.) it would take to track that.

      True blockchain has not yet been implemented apparently.

      Edit why do crapto posts regularly breach containment?

          if it worked like regular crypto, we’d have a major revolution after a bunch of pension money got lost to poor opsec, a smart contract hack, fat fingering, or any of the other fucking stupid things that only happen in crypto

                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.
