1  Economy / Service Discussion / Question about instant exchanges on: January 19, 2020, 12:45:08 PM
Helo everyone I was looking for instant exchanges and was wondering if you can give me some info on any similar service to shapeshift BUT without the registration?

I'm looking for one where I'll be able to make the whole thing fast and that's easy to use.
2  Other / Off-topic / Economics; how banks poof money into existance, how can crypto solve this? on: September 26, 2018, 11:40:51 PM
Sorry for the confusing title. To kick it off I'll start with the frase at the beginning of a video I'll link below: "Never before has there been as much money as there is today, yet central banks continue to pump money into the economy...", I saw this video recently which goes into detail how banks are just poofing money out of nowhere with little to no repercussions, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6m49vNjEGs

So I wanted to discuss, realistically, how can crypto solve this? If you didn't want to watch the video there's this very simple analogy of how the majority of people think banks work:

Investor deposits large amounts of money, entrepeneurs come and ask for a loan which is taken from these investors pools, right? Well, not quite. Private banks in some jurisdictions are allowed to loan upwards 99% money they themselves don't have, and still be picky about it (they're not going to invest in risky projects, loans are given of course to safer projects, short term profit if you will).

So there you have it, I know of course that the blockchain is transparent, everyone can see where the money goes, can transactions being out in the open help deal with these shady practices?

Which takes us to my next point, as proven last year, crypto currencies don't seem to handle well with a large influx of transaction, so would the answer for crypto to be an actual currency be as simple as "be able to do more transactions"? And I don't mean exactly double them, how many financial transactions happen per second? They're quite a lot. Can it really be hosted in the blockchain?
