I think you are joking but I don't think this is out of line with the original vision. Wall Street still will not control the block chain, and there was never any intention of excluding anyone from its use.

AFAICT it'd not selling, but clearing - matching clients who wish to buy and sell, and takinga nice fee off the top.

Yes Goldman would be a clearing broker; by selling I meant more like offering these futures to their clients as a product, so selling was more in the retail meaning of selling a product/service than the financial one.
