So I've got an idea.. why don't someone start a real life stock exchange passthrough? Maybe even a stock exchange that lets you spend bitcoins. The barrier to entry of stocks can be pretty high.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

This has already come up multiple times.  and been pretty much shot down multiple times..  

Real stocks have tiny yield, BTC/USD fluctuations, SEC/regulatory issues, USD handling issues, need a series 7, etc, etc..

We could, however, trade BTC-denominated derivatives that track the value of stocks  Wink

As for AAPL being mentioned in the title, I'm currently short AAPL from 701 a share, starting to feel pretty good about it  Cheesy

I think using bitcoin as collateral would work better for this.

Put a bunch of bitcoin in a collateral account, borrow some altcoin or other against that collateral, sell the altcoin at an altcoin-to-fiat exchange and buy real stocks from a real stockbroker...

General Financial Corp is thinking of setting up some kind of collateral (aka margin account?) system that ought to work for this kind of thing. (Using bitcoin as collateral and borrowing an altcoin or other asset...)
