> there's an obvious use-case for owning your own money

Definitely! But on a blockchain you don't own your money, the consensus does. The Ethereum split proved this.

it is a gradient of ownership

do i own the house i bought? well, yes as long i keep paying property taxes.

what is ownership really and how much more/less does one own crypto vs. money in bank. is it quantity dependent? is it time sensitive?

there are no certainties in life, besides death and taxes.
