Price discovery, when done by human agents, is expensive. The stock
exchange and its traders have a lot of overheads.
One explanation for the failure of Mojo Nation was that people would not
take the time to do price discovery for micro transactions.
Not that I know why Mojo Nation failed. I have not seen a post mortem
from anyone knowledgeable.
