Even with a 51% attack, the Bitcoin blockchain is filled with digital signatures; noone but your own nodes would accept the blocks, and you would only be 'fooling' yourself.
Electronic voting could only work if every citizen had their own private, secure, digital signature key. Which can't happen in the US because poor people can't afford them, and a certain party would never give anything for free, while the other would protect the poor.
Except you are missing the 'network' part; with modern routing techniques.
Just like you connect to your ISP, you'll open a lightning channel to a payment provider; who has open channel to as many other payment providers as they can (like ISP peering); who in turn, will have a channel to the wallet you are sending to. (the other 'last mile')
The payment providers advertise their routes with the fee rates, and the cheapest path is automatically selected.
Automatic, cryptographically secure bidding for the lowest rates for financial services.
Cash balances held in your Coinbase accounts belong to you - not Coinbase.
If you are a United States resident, your Coinbase USD Wallet is covered by FDIC insurance, up to a maximum of $250,000.
Even if Coinbase were to fail as a business, the funds held in the custodial bank accounts could not be claimed by Coinbase or its creditors. The funds held in those accounts would be returnable to Coinbase’s customers.
