And from a purely academic point of view.
What would it take to add to the number of market pegged assets on the exchange?
I assume now that we sticking to the one blockchain to rule them all that new assets would simply be added to the current exchange.
Or would other assets need to be introduced on a forked blockchain with some kind of cross-chain trading?
I um, I believe, that when sufficient delegates provide price feeds for an asset pair, the market comes into being automatically.
Yes but to get the asset there in the first place?
As is my understanding, first you must implore delegates to offer a price feed for your desired asset, by promising them your vote.
Then, a market participant needs to willingly short the new asset against some other, in order for you to buy, transfer, save, receive or sell in turn.
Ultimately, all vanilla value transfers between fiat and the bitshares blockchain must be facilitated by fiat:bitasset market makers.
