As I stress in another post, the hard part of finance is valuation, risk assessment, and regulation. The transmision of ownership of assets, custody, etc. aren't exactly the hard part. Sure you can move digital tokens around on the worlds most expensive Raspberry Pi, but you could also do this on a permissioned system - and you still haven't solved the hard problems of finance. As an analogy it's kind of like saying you got a webapp to work on your home box, and therefore demonstrated any competence to scale it to hundreds of millions of users.
