Hi, I haven't heard this mentioned yet and I haven't really looked into it but it appears NuBits is a new stabilized coin set at 1 USD.
"NuShares holders can vote to increase or decrease supply in order to stabilize NuBits’ price" cryptocoiner @crypto_coiner.
looks like maybe a little competition unfortunately. You guys may get some ideas or thoughts if you check it out.
just thought id mention this when i came across it
I don't think NuBits really has anything set in place to keep this stabilized at $1, other than wishful thinking. If you check out the exchange that they are listed on, you can still buy and sell it for whatever you want. As far as I know, there isn't an exchange in cryptocurrency designed for trading a coin of fixed value. There are a couple of other things I have a problem with. First is the fact that the owners can vote to increase or decrease the supply to keep the price stable. How?? Would you buy up under-priced coins with your hard earned money and destroy them? If your coin was finally showing a profit, would you vote to dilute it with more coins?? Secondly, I believe all coins should earn their $ valuation. At this point in time, digital currency is an investment in it's potential, and there is no upside to this coin.
Thanks for bringing up NuBits, mrbum805. We can always learn something, and cannot possibly cover all our bases.
This is so new I have not spent sufficient time to study it yet. If it is that simple there will be 10,000 competitors in a few months, including banks and nations. I tend to agree with Chase at this point. Value can not be just created out of thin air. Controlling money supply, especially by printing more money at will has ruined the currencies of many countries. Even a super power like the United States has been taking quite a beating as seen in the lost of confidence and significant devaluation of the US dollar.
DNotes believes that trust, confidence, and stability have to be built and demonstrated over time. It takes years, not days, or months. It takes a lot of hard work and patience. It is not always very exciting and only long-term investors can truly benefit from large potential returns.
DNotes is about delivering the full functions of money and more. Of critical importance are trust, stability, and reliable long-term appreciating value. If I have enough time and energy left, after working a full day in my gardens, I will continue to post a few more serious write-ups on how DNotes plans to overcome many structural problems and challenges confronting Bitcoin and our industry in general.
I personally believe that our industry has a tendency to make things too completed, perhaps to impress themselves, and not the masses in the real world. If it is money, it should be real easy to understand, easy to save, easy to transfer, and easy to spend. It must be secure, with a good store of value and reliable long-term appreciation.
DNotes is the only digital currency positioned to fulfill these functions. In the coming months DNotes will be offering a large family of CR.I.S.Ps. (Cryptocurrency Investment Saving Plans) DNotes intents to be around forever. Our first offering is CR.I.S.P. for kids in our efforts to build the next generation of DNotes good whales. Among our line-ups are CR.I.S.Ps. for students, CR.I.S.Ps. for Charity, CR.I.S.Ps. employees’ Benefits and more.
The success of these projects will take DNotes very far. Your support will be important to us. Can you spare some DNotes as Christmas gifts this year? Start making a list. We are making it as easy as setting up an account with an exchange, but it’s not an exchange. It’s DNotes Vault with 100% of the CR.I.S.Ps’ deposits guaranteed. Sounds exciting? It is.
