The most exciting thing the exchanges can do is to start using BitUSD and/or BitCNY as the default unit of exchange between cryptocoins.
That would just be soooo amazing
This^^^^^ This is all about bitUSD represents.
I want to be able to trade bitUSD vs all alts. That way I can hold my money in a market pegged bitUSD without fear of it losing value until I find a alt I am interested in.
Until this happens I have to trust bitstamp to hold my funds and only buy bitcoin when I am ready to send it to a exchange to reduce the risk of volatility. I then wait for it to hit the exchange(5-mins-hours) then I can make my trade.With bitUSD I could wire money to stamp exchange to btc then directly to a exchange that works with bitUSD and trade for any alt I please.
This is the first step.......
Now all we need to do is figure out how to skip that nasty dirty wire money part......
