I think it's up for debate whether it's pegging or free market that's better for distribution. So far I've only seen volatility increase wallet inequality not lower it. Dogecoin being a prime example of that.
How can you create distribution with pegging? You are limiting the volume available to be moved from hand to hand. How can that create distribution?
You take away the advantage whales enjoy in the short term. Whales can manipulate and set walls. By limiting that volume you're freeing up that game for everyone.
A dump is meant to create wallet inequality followed by an increase in price. The richest wallets get richer during a dump. They're the ones scooping up coins during a firesale.
A pump is meant to create wallet equality in order to get out of a coin which is usually followed by a decrease in price. The more bagholders the merrier.
To limit the volume in both ways you're basically spoiling the game for short-traders. Whales can't get out of their own dumps as easily and they can't reap as many coins during their pumps.
So, in the end you only care how much your coin is worth. As I said, you don't think long term. You can't ask for stability within a young market without proper distribution.
You are very wrong. This is not about pump and dump. Pumps and dumps are nothing but freemarkets. You are better with FIAT if you don't like pump and dumps, or with GOLD. Pumps and dumps are still creating distribution, which result in more healthy market.
To limit the volume in both ways is a BIG mistake. Yes you don't have your evil pump and dumps that everyone fear, but in the same time you won't have distribution.
Whales are no the problem my friend into this market right now. I invested around 50 BTC into this. Do you consider me a whale? I don't consider myself a whale. Whales are not a problem within a 400k marketcap coin. Whales starts to be a problem from 10m marketcap coin because they can damage the coin.
This volatility is generated by daytraders. This is a new kind of game.
In the past, the things worked differently. They changed the game.
- They are not pumping the markets with bots anymore, they are creating volatility and they are milking BTC out of the market. BUT this is working only on fresh markets with low distribution. That's why we don't see those 2-3x price increase after the ICO. Because the players don't make money like this anymore if everybody expects to dump for 2-3x ASAP after the ICO ends.
Believe me, a coin will die as soon as the distribution stops. With a pegging system so early present, the distribution will stop very fast. The tech will come, but new investors will not wait days to invest few BTC. They will look for another investment. And this is how you kill the coin.
