Title: Bitshares pegged assets for bitcoin arbitrageurs?
Post by: particlewave on February 11, 2016, 10:59:21 pm

Now that zero-confirmation bitcoin transaction companies exists like BitGo Inc. (https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/bitgo-announces-launch-of-bitgo-instant-for-zero-confirmation-bitcoin-transactions-1453215361), would not Bitshares pegged-assets be an attractive destination to address the "fiat problem" for arbitrageurs?

Give us liquidity and some more libraries to make API usage easier.. then this should be a no brainer
