Yes

 @9FT7543 from Utah disagreed…7mos7MO

No, we should not transition to a decentralized financial system because there needs to be a control with the money. If you don't we would be a broke country.

 @9H5PPTW from Iowa disagreed…5mos5MO

 @9FNSSWC from Wisconsin disagreed…7mos7MO

Centralized finance allows the government to control who has money. If you do something they don't like they could take away your money.

No

 @9FLYGRTProgressive from Missouri agreed…7mos7MO

Finance should remain centralized so that way congress can funnel money into issues that are prevalent in today's society, like drug misuse, and overdosing/underage drinking.

 @9FMJND2Republican from Michigan disagreed…7mos7MO

Yes, we should have decentralized currency because by it being centralized, it gives the federal government too much power.

 @9FJB4JB from California agreed…7mos7MO

A majority party would use their power to limit who can do what. This is similar to 1984, where the INGSOG would try to erase facts using their power. Making use of their power to control the masses. Using secret police to make sure people are not talking bad against the government. By giving the government power over electronic currency they can force you to obey their will by making it impossible to use your money. Or in Fahrenheit 451. Where owning books would make you a criminal where you lose your fingerprints making it impossible to connect to society as they use fingerprints.

 @9F8VPZ7 from North Carolina agreed…7mos7MO

I don’t need to convince anyone. We patriot will not let it happen. Do not mistake our kindness and passiveness as weakness.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3yrs3Y

Yes, but only if it’s truly decentralized and cannot be manipulated by any person, group, or government agency

 @9FWVP3J from California disagreed…7mos7MO

Currency is credit of a country. It is not possible to be truly decentralized. Decentralized Finance is a fake concept.

 @9FLYGRTProgressive from Missouri disagreed…7mos7MO

It would allow money to go to what the people truly want, instead of what a certain group or person would like.

 @9F8VPZ7 from North Carolina disagreed…7mos7MO

It allows too much surveillance and control by the govt of what we are doing. The govt has proven time and time again it cannot be trusted, honest, or accountable. Those in power are bought by the wealthy and interests not of the American people. Without cash you lose the ability to do simple things like donate to homeless on the street. To conduct lawn-sales, to slip money under your child pillow from the tooth fairy, kids allowances etc. The government wants to micromanage our every move and that is not what they were hired for. They work and answer to me! An every other American they swore to represent. They are in position by our authority and they will be removed just as quick. By force if necessary, a right ensures to us by our founding fathers. We will not cower and bend the knee to corrupt politicians and their agencies.

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3yrs3Y

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

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...12mos12MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHDiscuss this answer...3yrs3Y

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

How would your daily life change if money and financial transactions were completely decentralized?

 @8WFSTNYCommunist from Virginia answered…3yrs3Y

Create LOH, Legion of Homeless, in which all of our funds, i.e. trillions of dollars, are to be managed by drunk homeless people.

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

In what ways could a decentralized financial system impact the global economy, positively or negatively?

 @9CKGW4ZRepublican from Washington answered…10mos10MO

No, the anonymity of decentralized protocols make it easier for criminals to transfer funds

We should have limited Government, less spending, lower taxes, and Deregulation. We should decentralize it to a healthy amount.
