Surge pricing to settle stock trades? Obviously this is worse than the existing tech

To trade you need to be registered by regulated entity, it’s already a centralised environment. You’re also purchasing shares issued by a centralised issuer, the corporation. Your suggestion that bitcoin offers any solution to settlement (much less a superior solution), just escapes me

I'm not sure why you are talking about stock trading. Settlement is a general, non stock specific thing. I'm talking about settlement in regular transactions, e.g. paying rent or buying groceries.
