I actually dont know jack shit abt Bay's coin supply.. can any1 elaborate? cuz for me, 800 sats for a 1B coin supply is just fucked up. I just wanna know what this peg thing is alot of people are talking about...
Yeah I know what you mean, the USD is a supply of infinity (if you are fed reserve) and otherwise countless trillions.
Marketcap matters not supply. What's will all these new profiles repeating the same banter?
The rolling peg allows us to vote on freezing coins and it effects all users equally. Coins then have unique liquidity so each coin would maintain those properties to everyone who receives it.
This allows us to force the price of liquid coins in a dynamic way allowing us to vote on supply constantly throughout the day.
Totally decentralized market peg. Forcing stability at the same time as allowing price growth
Alright so, marketcap is the share price x amount of shares available yes? In that sense, if this rolling peg is doing what I assume it is doing, then the price now is artificially made to boast a higher coin price. Then as of this moment the price of BAY is overpriced since this price rise is due to artificial supply restriction and not genuine price appreciation through increased market demand. Please correct me if I am horribly wrong since I am actually not here to FUD like a mofo, I just want someone to point me to the proper direction where I can read up on the rolling peg and how important it is to how BAY works. Since liquid/illiquidity does not make sense to me at all atm... an asset is an asset is an asset.
btw, I miss you dzimbeck <3
The point you are missing is the liquid amount changes HOURLY or DAILY. So the idea that there is some "fixed" liquidity emulating a large marketcap is totally not true. The liquid coins can certainly inflate and they would to punish any vicious pumpers who try to take advantage of ultra-cheap pumps. The idea is to force harmony between volume (demand) and price (supply).
The frozen assets are quickly available once the volume increases. So only a low volume coin (might) have a lower effective marketcap. And you would definitely want it that way because you don't want supply to so far beyond demand of the target price!
This is the entire problem with Crypto!! They don't have any way to truly EMULATE larger markets. Forcing stability and consumer confidence.
Also, this is a massive benefit over hard pegs that rely on "trading tricks" and insanely unstable voluntary incentives (like parking) not to say we can't offer "bonds" like parking but this is truly the only decentralized free and fair way to do it.
There can certainly be two asset classes within the same "asset" as you call it because of the way I'm going to have miners analyse the coins being spent. They can force the division of the two by looking at prospective outputs and force you to make change on the ones not leaving your account. Although I've put together a very technical 20 page whitepaper, not yet published so its a lot more complex than I'm letting on.
Thus there are two styles of assets on the same chain. The frozen coins and the liquid ones. The frozen coins can thaw and become liquid quite fast if the volume rises and the price rises based on the communities collective wishes. And they would certainly want to freeze some of the supply if price goes too low and that my friend should increase volume!! Why? Because a person buying liquid coins knows a certain amount will be more valuable by watching the voting rate. If hes long on BitBay he will want this.
Also, once it reaches a stable target price volume again will increase because people know when Bitcoin goes down, they have a stable hedge far superior than the broken Tether!! Yes Tether went below a dollar proving yet again 3rd parties cannot be trusted. So it would be wise for an investor to quickly cash out BTC for BitBay because they can wait in BitBay as they watch BTC decline. And even potentially watch Bays value rise because the peg is "rolling" or "moving" and not fixed.
This dynamic system is exactly the same as how governments do it with the caveat that its decentralized and all users are in control (or an algorithm can handle it too). In my opinion its what Bitcoin should have been. Regardless we shall see soon enough! Fun times ahead.
"Rolling peg" is what I used to describe it. But also "moving peg", "user value protection", "freezing/unfreezing", "inflation/deflation" were some of the names tossed around. Let me know if you can think of other names for this as it's never been done before.
