I agree to an extent however bitcoin marketplaces have a substantially lower bar to entry and slightly more (apparent) transparency to trade volume and holding which can give better ideas as to stability and the market consensus. I admit this is conjecture however it is undeniable that the closed doors of financial institutions make price fixing more convenient.

Libor is the rate at which banks lend to each other. It wouldn't matter if the contracts were dollar or Bitcoin or seashell denominated. They are private contracts to which the public is not privy. A simpler solution is requiring banks to post their interbank borrowings, nightly, to a clearinghouse.

I just realised i'm mixing up trading and lending, i shouldn't post when this tired lol. Maybe if we lived in a dissociated socialist crypto cybertopia it would be possible, i can dream.
