Well sure there has been shitty code that has allowed doublespend or unintended transfers...but the satoshi nakamoto Blockchain did solve the problem of double spend on a decentralized peer to peer network, do you disagree?

Take the current status of publicly traded companies, they require a lot of middlemen to manage these centralized stock ledgers, including, the corporate general counsel, underwriters/investment banks, stock trust, stock exchanges, and stock brokers/trading apps.

Each one of those middlemen takes a significant slice of the pie, whereas Blockchain would allow corporatations to bypass all these middlemen and allow stock to be issued and traded P2P.

Is there a reason you believe the existing centralized stock ledgers of public companies and system of middlemen is more advantageous than having P2P stock on a distributed ledger/network?
