This may be the opposite. Securities traded as cryptocurrencies on a publically auditable ledger will prevent all of the inflated paper that presently occurs on wallstreet stock exchanges.
Theoretically a company issues shares, and you buy one of those shares and then yoi own that share.
In practice, this hasn't been the case for many decades. As soon as securities holding houses became the standard way for stocks to trade hands, and they moved blocks from one house to another, they tended toward a credit ledger system between brokerages. This left the door open for settlememt nightmares, and it became typical to "balance the books" with ledger entries even when the total record of ownership of stock exceeded the total issued stock.
In other words, the holding houses are running fractional reserve of public exchange securities. Its been a well-known, longstanding and "unsolved" yet widely ignored problem on wallstreet all this time.
I hate to say it, but this may be an actual valid use-case for a shitcoin blockchain because of the verifiable public ledger. The problem is there is no incentive to hash-mine this coin, so it likely will settle on a proof-of-stake system.
Interesting theory. Actually making it a registered security IS what proof of should be. No lying about decentralization or claiming it's money. The staking payout would be the equivalent of a taxable dividend issued by the company (exodus). But that is only if it's own blockchain and not built on top of another shitcoin.
Eth and derivitives are useful for creating other shitcoins, though I personally wouldn't bet my company on its indefinate existence
Yeah. But in my scenario the company wouldn't want to be on someone else's blockchain. Because it would add counterparty risk and muddy up the legality of it. Compared to purely it's shares on it's blockchain. But then of course....this could be done without blockchain at all.
True. Essentially what is needed is an NFT, and blockchain isnt the only way to crack that nut
