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 decentralized and cannot be manipulated by any person, group, or government agency

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

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

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

What concerns might you have if your money's security depended on technology without direct oversight?

I think that if people want to use that that's fine, but our whole financial system shouldn't switch to it as it's still young and unreliable with less security and oversight

I like the idea of a decentralized financial system but only if it's backed by gold.

No, It would be too uncontrollable and open to hackers.

No, these should be owned by the government (basically nationalized)

I think its good but also bad in some ways

A mixed system is beneficial in my view.

Imagine a world without banks as we know them; what would be the most exciting or daunting aspect for you?

huh? no???

No, and the existing financial system should be dismantled

No, and strictly prohibit crypto currency and nft’s they are rampant with abuse and pyramid schemes

I don't understand the concept

Yes, but only if it's properly implemented and reduces wealth inequality while benefitting the majority of the population

I cannot process this what

No, just keep close tabs on companies thay offer these services so they dont become too greedy
