can people use 50:1 leverage with bitusd?

Also is there going to be some lending scheme where people can lend bitshares to people in africa or something?

You don't need to hold reserves to hold bitusd, only to short it

Do not use this post as information for making any important decisions. The only agreements I ever make are informal and non-binding. Take the same precautions as when dealing with a compromised account, scammer, sockpuppet, etc.

Please someone explain to me who is going to trade FOREX using Bitshares blockchain, taking into consideration how narrow the profit margins for intra fiat currency trading are, moreoever with the requirement of holding twice the reserves on the account.
