There is no decentralized solution to the BGP problem. Period.

For a moment, just consider this; you are saying that there is no solution to BGP in trustless anonymous systems, but: If you take a snapshot of the current bitcoin hash rate and equally divide it out between N generals of fixed and equal hash rate, this is now classical BGP. You must be forced to concede that you are in fact saying that there is no solution to BGP at all, which is clearly false.
