RE: Vlog 198: Enforce the SBD peg or not?
I agree, the USD has currently been trending down for awhile. Why should we be peg the SBD to an asset that is falling in value? What if crypto-currency is the future and (eventually) all fiat money becomes nearly worthless. I do understand the desire to have a stable value for the SBD though. This is not a simple problem to solve.
All fiat currencies will eventually drop to zero; this is mathematically inevitable. It may take 500 years or 500 days, but go down it will. Gold does not have this problem; there will always be someone willing to take Gold as payment. Besides, when governments have reserves, they hold gold, and that tells me everything I need to know about their fiat money. If governments don't have confidence in their own money as savings; why should I? ..or You? If we peg crypto to anything; peg it to something like Gold. Gold sucks as an investment but is a great reserve. Greetings!
