What is a decentralised asset?

This question is at the crux of any consideration about the relationship of the state and the individual in digital assets.

It’s also something that Suzie Violet Ward writes about with great clarity, and two of her recent articles are of particular interest.

The first is an article for Forbes, which you can find in online at https://www.forbes.com/sites/digital-assets/2023/08/29/bitcoins-evolution-into-a-legitimate-form-of-money/.

The second, and the one I find most interesting, is a response to an FCA consultation. If you read only one article today, make it this one: https://www.bitcoinpolicy.uk/post/bpuk-response-to-fca-guidance-consultation-gc23-1!
