A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

There is no central entity, so it is decentralized in the original definition. I gave Canton as the example because it could be immediately substituted for Swift. It's permissioned access by design, because banks don't want to risk their monopoly position.
For speed and cheapest, go for solana.
For reliability go for Ethereum. For reliability, speed and cheapness choose an L2 on Ethereum.
For illegal stuff use monero.
There are trade offs between them, but I wouldn't call them flaws. Blockchain as a technology definitely "works".
If you have trillemas all over it IS flawed in one way or another. End users won't get through the complexity of multi-choice where every one has downsides. How do you even drive the adoption if every store would accept only their crypto of choice?
Ethereum has solved it's trillemas. Fiat has it's own flaws.
User experience is certainly a blocker. The only way round that at the moment is to put a familiar medium between the user and the crypto layer.
