This is a political problem and not a technical one.

Great insight on this point by Peter Todd:

And what is the point of keeping the blockchain so decentralized it is not even useful for no one? Who will run a node of a useless blockchain? If most transactions are driven off chain, will transaction fees will be enough to ensure strong enough security? I seriously doubt it.

Here is your answer; please note your questions indulge in the fallacy of petitio principii.

It doesn't address my questions at ALL.

Yes it does. You simply lack the intelligence and experience required to appreciate the answers.

Again: If only big institutions can use the blockchain, so what's the point of keeping it decentralized that much? Who will be running a node for a bunch of banks? It does not make any sense.

Again: Please note your questions indulge in the fallacy of petitio principii.

Again: The true value that Bitcoin brings to the table is not "everyone gets to write into the holy ledger", it is instead "everyone gets to benefit from sane and non-inflationary financial instutions whose sanity and honesty are ensured by the holy blockchain".

Basically you can't reply to the simple question of "who is going to run a node for these financial institutions?". Gotcha.

And you keep talking about keeping the blockchain decentralized? What a joke you are.
