I really don't see how e-gold could do the above. First of all, it would have to be a grandmother with access to a computer, and a telephone line, and an internet service. Not neccesarily. There are a lot of community internet access centers being set up. Then somebody would

I read it to mean instant clearance of trades, which could have an affect on the spread play earnings of market makers (the security trade kind,not e-currency exchange providers). ...multiple dissimilar financial assets... probably refers to currency trading (arbitrage), buy euro's, sell
