- mhluongo 9y agoThat wouldn't be "direct", it would be through a trusted third party... Who has banking hours, could censor the transaction, etc.
- tscs37 9y agoThat shouldn't be an issue if all parties trust the Third party. It is only an issue if there is sufficient lack of trust that the involved fear such a thing would happen. Otherwise a block chain is overkill.
- hatsunearu 9y agoFiat currency REQUIRES the trust of the central bank, so that's not an issue.
