e.g. one invests via Coinbase and gives them a picture of a passport, in order to register a bank -- a source for USD exchange -- then the high order rules related to detection of money laundering impinge on that investment. I'm so crippled by particulars.

When fanbois use the word "decentralized", it smacks of (technical) bullshit. Sure, the ledger may be decentralized. But the only thing that makes the token decentralized is the market wherein I can exchange one token for another. That raises (yes I know I'm a broken record) the idea that higher order objects impinge, top-down, on their lower order constituents. -- glen ⛧ .-- .- -. - / .- -.-. - .. --- -. ..--.. / -.-. --- -. .--- ..- --. .- - .
