if they do not fuck it up it is quite big news.

one of the most legimate critiques on bitcoin is the bottleneck problem, e.g. the point where the system interoperates with the fiat world.

this was up to this point valid, because you had to trust exchanges, which were run at best in a grey area of jurisdiction. these exchanges were almost solely responsible for the external price determination of bitcoin.

if they manage to reduce this problem they really strengthen the ecosystem of bitcoin.

Dead on man. Especially being a well funded New York exchange.

Let's hope they have lock down security.

Good stuff, not sure what's easier to push through ETF or a full exchange Huh

maybe at least one will come through

The ETF is a totally fresh beast that'll need to convince lots of powerful people yet. An exchange would be a piece of piss to set up and operate in comparison.

You would rather say "Tyler and me".

The domain is registered at the Scamhost "GoDaddy" with the email "[email protected]" LoL. (https://who.godaddy.com/whoisstd.aspx?domain=gemini.com&prog_id=GoDaddy)

A quick search for "Gemini IP, LLC" gives multiple results on google from 2013 and before in different states like Wisconsin and Texas LoL.

They don't have an impress on their site.
