>>A central bank and blockchain technology are antithetical concepts,
I feel I need to screenshot this. It demonstrates more succinctly than I could write an essay on, how much we are muddying up technology, and purpose / politics / ideals when we start discussing this area (Crypto currency etc)
How is a human institution in your mind "antithetical" to a technology? Is a government "antithetical" to 3rd normal form or airline antithetical to a b-tree?
You are inserting a large number of undisclosed assumptions to even begin to make such a statement (whether aware of it or not).
>>if a central bank is ever offering you something blockchain it's probably a scam by means of sham decentralization.
I don't disagree with this... I just think it neatly extends fully to "if anybody is ever offering you something block chain" :-)
