There will also not be a reserve or anything like that? Where does the pegged currency gain its value from? Or the trust in the currency to preserve its value or even have value in the first place?
It's pretty simple. At 100% supply if you have 100 coins then they are all liquid to sell on the exchange.
If the supply drops 99% then you have 1 coin to sell on the exchange and 99 in reserve.
Thus, it requires less BTC to buy up the liquid coins... lower supply = higher price (as long as there is some demand and there is always some volume)
If the price goes too high too fast then lets say your reserve coins are released and supply goes 50% so you have 50 liquid 50 reserve.
That causes price to go down due to release of reserve coins.
If you sell those 50 liquid coins then you still keep your reserve and the new recipient upon inflation doesn't see a new influx of coins so it's not like a split or anything. Each set of coins has a memory of their liquidity shards and that is know upon each transfer. Exchanges do a liquidity share on the orderbook so the quality of coins is consistent for all users on the exchange. Even so, an exchange would have two orderbooks BAY (liquid) and BAYR (reserve) and the two will shift in proportion through the day. Exchange must run special software to do track this because the blockchain will require correct accounting.
This peg doesn't require any backing or reserve funds. It's forceful decentralized control of supply. The decision to do this is based on when users win a stake they can cast a vote deciding if it goes up or down 1% compound. These voting intervals allow up to 21 times of 1% supply change compounded daily. So a bear market can be crushed in it's tracks almost the same day.
This obviously raises investor confidence too and makes it cheaper to be a market maker as long as they understand the algorithms voters are using. If voting system get's abused then we can switch to give greater weight to algorithmic votes.
