Thank you for the responses.
No disrespect, I wish to hear from other laypersons who wish to take action together, and to further think in a think-tank form about the best ways, the problems, difficulties, and strategies of developing a democratic and public exchange.
(people who believe in people).
I believe in people and people interactions, as long as they are voluntary and not forced by a gun. What do you mean by "lay" person?
If you have the time to reread my post, you will see that I didn't offer anything else but a voluntary cooperation of people.
I sympathize with your commitment to promote freedom. And I understand your objection to state tyranny.
I fail to understand why would you then object to the idea that people (like you and me) will join together and create a reliable exchange, that will work for us? At the moment the exchanges work for their owners, who can (see MtGox) disappear with your money, who work against the interest of their clients.
Perhaps you care to explain how does it interfere with your freedom? I would think that such cooperation increases your freedom, as it liberates you from greedy cooperation whose interests are not the same as their clients (you and me).
By public i thought you meant state operated.
