Ever since John Maynard Keynes laid the foundation for modern financial markets, investors have primarily held positions in stocks, bonds, and cash. Modern economic history has examples of traditional investors who made it big by investing in regular asset classes.

You may have had to make do with the short end of the stick—fortunately, Bitcoin decentralized currency settlements.

Now, one can lend, borrow, invest and trade in an algorithm-based open market that runs without intermediaries.
