Title: Buying Stocks on Bitshares
Post by: mike623317 on November 04, 2015, 03:09:45 pm

OK, so I'm going off at a bit of a tangent here compared to the flow of conversation on here. However, is it in the works to be able to buy stocks from around the world on Bitshares? I was thinking that essentially it would be no different that the price of gold, just s contract for difference between two parties at a particular point in time.

Just wondering if that was in the vision because I'm a global exchange would sure be something to behold.

Yes. Pegging was supposed to work with stocks. Liquidity is the main constraint.

You need people trading too.. I just showed our NASDAQC to investors and while they thought that was cool.. they also saw ZERO activity.. nobody is putting bts into creating the assets to trade.. nobody trading so why would anybody risk it?
