No - it is the point.

It's besides the point that I was making that blockchains solves some of the problems with decentralized governments. Albeit, not all.

I was trying to say it solves some of the problems, though I may have worded it awkwardly.
That's beside the point, though. I'm just noting that the possibility of have distributed deeds does make it possible to have some of the benefits of a centralized government: deeds and currency, without having one. That obviously only works if everyone in the society has come to the agreement that those things are valuable (just like in case of central governments too). But the point is just that you don't need a central person with all the power of issuing them.
