This is exactly the reason why we will never agree. It is in fact the whole point.
"In the future I see a public blockchain - whether that's Bitcoin or some other open one in the future, which is a way of registering ownership of all sorts of assets and it's a way of transferring ownership of those assets in a single system that can be read by all of the right people and none of the wrong people. So it becomes very simple for me to swap my dollars for your IBM shares, or your pounds for my house. Any asset that we assign a value to and want to be sure about who owns it can be registered using this technology.”
- James Smith, CEO of Elliptic
Does this not sound like Bitshares with registered and pegged assets/hierchical account control to you?
