Sky, 99.9% of Australians think FIAT is an Italian car. You're the 0.1% of people who seem to be stuck on very big picture issues (FIAT vs non-FIAT, decentralisation, etc) that is so far removed from the needs of the 99.9% of Ordinary Australians. All they want is a stable, secure, convenient, easy to use and fast payments system. They'll be getting that on January 27 when real time transactions occur for every day transactions. I also hear the ASX is looking at the New Payments System and Blockchain technology to replace the CHESS platform and stock trades may also become 'real time'.
I love blockchain technology but I dont need to hold crypto to access blockchain technology. An analogy is the invention of the USD. A caveman may love the USD but he doesnt need to hold the USD, he just needs to buy the paper, ink and printing press.
Which comes to my next question. Who owns the Intellectual Property to Blockchain?
