for..... a liquid market to trade oil, gold, S&P etc in BTC, but ideally it would be coupled with a BTC swap/collar market to mitigate currency risk.

If the authorities try to shut it down, someone could make a market in phone minutes - which are transferrable - and get around the currency prohibitions. I noticed in Thailand that people can transfer phone minutes to other people's phones. Is this feature available in the US? Someone could make a market in phone minutes - which presumable won't be outlawed and fund things that way is the NWO shuts down Dwolla, etc. I guess they could have a bunch of scratch off card codes? Huh

It the authorities block bank x-fers, goods arbitrage with phone minutes which are closely linked to money could keep the BTC system flowing.

on the other hand if oil would be tradeable in bitcoin the bitcoin price would be much more stable.

i think vladimir is selling bitcoins by charging via phone... not directly related to phone minutes, though.
