Or do we continue with a digital form of the existing paradigm, managed by rulers without rules, and based on the ever-shifting political and financial motives of a few? Do we enhance global monetary network security with a decentralized and distributed network? Or do we continue to rely upon an insecure centralized network with single points of failure?
