RE: Should SBD Be a Pegged Asset? If So, When Should We Peg It?

in #sbd7 years ago

We can't control what exchanges list, nor would we want to. This isn't about centralized control, but about providing individuals with tools to profit from speculators who, as the white paper describes, are "manipulating" the SBD peg. If we allow for a STEEM -> SBD conversion, more SBD will be created which will eventually drive down the price to something stable. Other assets like Tether and bitUSD (and all the others listed in the paper I included in my post) have done it. We can too.

Oh thank you, I got to know more about Dan's vision about steem, in the post you have shared ... I could minutely understand why peg is important ... and steem could be in future if everything worked the same way as it was planned ... but I just wanna add something ... if people need to work on the pegging they should delay that a little bit... cause high sbd is attracting people to this platform maybe after we have acquired 20 million and more, they could start working on the vision. cause by then we'll have several marketplaces here on top on steemit like steemgigs and more, and people we'll be willing to have a pegged currency at place.

Disclaimer : I maybe Naive and I haven't read the whitepaper

What if those marketplaces won't form without a pegged asset to support them first?

Why is it high SBD attracting people and not high STEEM which has more impact on the total rewards pool and post payouts?
