Should the technology of our financial system transition to a decentralized protocol, that is not owned or controlled by any corporation, similar to the internet?

Yes

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

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

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

I don't have a good understanding of decentralised finance

If it is owned and controlled by one company, then the stakes of making sure everything runs smoothly is higher as the ownus falls on them, this is why I believe that it should be owned and controlled by a single company, but carefully watched as to ensure it is operating correctly.

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

We do not need a financial system

I don't understand the concept of decentralised finance
