I completely agree. It is better to tie a coin to dollar or cents. If they see that the coin is worth 0.01 cents, from the point of view of investment in people will show interest even just because of the numbers. I think gradually go from binding to other cryptocurrencies. But it takes time, we can do it all.
Let all of us (community members) pledge to buy at least 2$ worth of DIME everyday. Trust me, this will certainly create a big impact.
