Re: [Ledger] Bootstrapping Interledger

If you focus on a stock market, the software will work for currencies as
well.  The code is identical.  See my attachment.

In Texas, a stock exchange license is $10,000.  A currency exchange license
is $5,000.  There are net worth requirements and background checks, but it
is as simple as applying for a license.

Incorporate in Texas.
Raise some capital for ownership.
Apply for the licenses.
It's that easy.
