Hi,
So there are those companies that do data mining, for other companies (for example loan companies) extracting data from bank accounts (for example accounts of prospective loaners, who gave login credentials to their accounts) to give info to their clients (loan companies), who need it (for example to determine if a given person is credit-worthy, after checking his account history).
Why there are no companies like this, that would allow almost-trustless crypto-to-fiat exchanges directly between individuals? I mean, if you want to buy 1 BTC for 10kUSD and I want to sell 1 BTC for 10kUSD, then I make a transaction to you with:
a) nLockTime
b) requirement of a asymmetrical signature from company which professionally checks bank accounts to confirm transaction (let's call it BitConfirm from now on) - so it is multsig transaction
c) BitConfirm's policy needs crypto-signed confirmation from seller and buyer of Bitcoin that they will sell and buy under the condition of such and such payment on such and such bank account in such and such time etc.
Now, we agreed that BitConfirm will do the verification and we both signed by keys that will be used to send and receive this 1 BTC, then one of us or both sent this crypto-agreement to BitConfirm and BitConfirm needs to sign this message to, before anyone will send any money. You send BitConfirm your login credentials. It works exactly like those companies I mentioned above, there are companies like that working and legal all around the world. BitConfirm checks and either confirms or not this transaction.
Of course there are other ways of formulating transaction, there are problems to be solved (deposits for transaction-spam preventions and BitConfirm's fees etc.), but basically if we trust BitConfirm (trust is their business), then we have following advantages:
-we can make transaction between ourselves, without needing any exchanged crippled by hyper-regulation and else
-we don't have to trust each other, as we trust BitConfirm
-we can prove BitConfirm's maliciousness - because BitConfirm had signed the message (check c above)) before anyone concluded bank transfer. So, we could present this signed agreement and, for example, our bank statement with digital signature from bank's side, and that would prove BitConfirm's maliciousness and put it out of business.
So, what are your thoughts?
There are many ways by which you can be the part of crypto like trading, investing or moreover by writing posts in account. As we all know that all the crypto currencies and specifically the bitcoin are in very much controversy because every country wants to know is it benefial to legalise bitcoin in their nation or not but what I feel is that in future in coming decades bitcoin will going to be the world largest currency so I feel that every one should be the part of this crypto world.
