Just thinking about gateways and options.
If you run the option that one of the gateways will become a scam, for example, as it recently happened with the openledger.
Take for example the asset Honest.cny. I have absolutely nothing against the Honest and their assets. So simple as an example to make it more visual. So, if you launch the option that such or any other gateway, and with it their asset, let it be honest.cny will become a scam for example within a year.
Then you, possessing for example 100,000 honest.cny, can buy the option for 1% of the face value and hedge your risk for a year from the loss of 100,000 cny in premiums. You ask why for 1%. Obviously, if an honest.cny asset is not going to become a scam, then its owner, absolutely without risk to himself (here I note that this is only an investment risk), can sell you such an option for 1%, showing that the honest.cny asset is stronger the rocks.
In other words, we will receive the same decentralization only in the traditional way. Or another option is possible, if only a year ago there was an option that the openledger would become a scam, but the openledger himself did not offer you to buy an option for 1%. Would it make you think that open.btc is not as reliable as Ronnie's calm face speaks of this?
I will leave aside again that here it is necessary to consider the reliability of the option itself. But still. The development of such tools seems to make sense.
