if you want a centrally managed cryptocurrency and can tolerate deferring double spend detection (i.e. you have an overdraft and debt collection system) then there are better cryptocash solutions than bitcoin that don't require a block chain and provide untraceable transactions and complete anonymity. The only worthwhile innovation in bitcoin in fact is its use of a block chain to eliminate the possibility of monetary policy manipulation.
