kaal:claim:3782216-029

Maintaining a full reserve is too expensive to be efficient, because every unit of reserve value backing the currency must be held liquid or arbitrage attacks become possible, and liquidity forgoes investment returns.

Source quote, verbatim
The maintenance of a c::% reserve is too expensive to be efficient, and signals the need for more sophisticated mechanisms. All of the value in the reserve which backs the cryptocurrency needs to be liquid, otherwise arbitrage opportunities, such as the Soros attack, are possible
