    So, not decentralised in it’s original sense, if a pack of people decide which operations are allowed. Decentralised as in “not a single bank”.

    See, this is what I mean when I say they all have flaws.

      There is no central entity, so it is decentralized in the original definition. I gave Canton as the example because it could be immediately substituted for Swift. It’s permissioned access by design, because banks don’t want to risk their monopoly position.

      For speed and cheapest, go for solana.

      For reliability go for Ethereum. For reliability, speed and cheapness choose an L2 on Ethereum.

      For illegal stuff use monero.

      There are trade offs between them, but I wouldn’t call them flaws. Blockchain as a technology definitely “works”.

        If you have trillemas all over it IS flawed in one way or another. End users won’t get through the complexity of multi-choice where every one has downsides. How do you even drive the adoption if every store would accept only their crypto of choice?
