    Wow we really are marching right to towards a centralised digital currency with no privacy and no actually ownership.

    Remember back in the day when owning stock meant u owned the actually stocks. Well now u own the right to the stocks but if the platform ur trading on goes under welp out of luck guess u don’t actually own them.

    You will own nothing and be happy.

      What? That’s not true. That’s what SIPC is for. Just like if a bank goes under and it’s FDIC insured, then you’re fine.

          It’s actually SIPC - the Securities Investor Protection Corporation, so there aren’t any abbreviation problems.

      Isn’t that called an option in the derivatives market? You can still own stock.

      I could not be happier for the death of physical cash. I despise it so much.

        I too enjoy sucking the governments dick as they creepily investigate everything I spend money on to ensure absolute social conformity.
