What happens if we have no clearing corporation? The network clears the trade and the computers will clear the trade. What happens when the bitcoin exchanges get hacked? We are in the preliminary market space and when the industry matures things will work their way out. What is your take on the Winklevoss twins? Good idea for having an ETF. Anthem states that Gold thru Hayek will allow the ability own Gold in small amounts for universal payments.Anthem states that with the global Hayek it will allow for the instant transformation of payments in any country, he cites Gyft.com as an example as an internet company that accepts gold. The longer we have government intervention in markets unproductive capital will be bailed out. The QEs are nothing more than a legalized Ponzi schemes that are racing each other to the bottom currency to increase exports. Anthem feels that unless you move to a new form of global payment the powder keg will continue to grow until the big default hits. Why will the markets benefit if we have no centralized clearing. Because decentralized clearing minimizes the chance of a massive failure. Jackson tried to decentralize the currency and it resulted in a collapse of the economy.

In todays society technology allows for the transfer of funds instantaneously if you have an electronic currency.
