I didn't say it will go there in a day. I'm pointing out that there is a $2B target market, which is not unreasonable at all.
Yes, I worked with a hedge fund and did automated trading systems for them for about 2.5 years.
EDIT: Given that FOREX brokers are not regulated and hard to trust, BitShares might be a good, more transparent solution.
Also even big and stable brokerages can fail - look up the RefCo fiasco.
Well there is always an upside to things, I would also like for it to reach the $1 mark but at given situation there is no reason why it should. Maybe a good marketing strategy will turn it around later, so I am not saying it wont, just that the reasons about "small businesses" coming in wont be happening any time soon. Even if Forex brokers are scam companies, what kind of marketing BTSX has to actually replace them. A better solution is not always the most prominent solution, is it?
Given we are yet to get media exposure/ a bitpay type business platform signing up businesses to use BTSX, we are really far off. Unless of course Brian pull a magical rabbit out of the hat.
As for the HF, are you sure you want to discuss that background on the forum, in crypto people normally tend to hate such profiles
