I think this is just optimism, it would be nice to have an actual reason to think this is the case.
- hkmurakami 9y agoI looked at the people backing the exchange and as far as I can tell, no one actually has a proper finance background, let alone a background in exchanges (which is, from what I've read, a pretty esoteric and specialized area within finance). The idea of Eric Reis running a stock exchange is... strange to me.

- hkmurakami 9y agoHi Eric. I recall the times when making long term equity holdings tax advantaged (ex: 0% cap gains after holding for 10 years) as a path to achieve similar goals to what LTSE is trying to achieve. Details (and general HN cynicism) aside, we hope your venture is a success. As a greater man than I once said, your success is our success. We'll be rooting for you.
