Hello! Now I'm working on a private exchange. I have very big plans, but there is still a lot of work. It will be a real market where people can buy and sell bitcoins. I'm trying to create a platform where Bitcoin will be treated as a commodity. People will be able to exchange bitcoins for dollars and to speculate on the cost. Theoretically, these allow you to set the exchange rate and so we will be able to understand how much a Bitcoin is worth in dollar terms.
