RE: Should we consider pegging HBD to gold instead of the US Dollar?

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

I kinda agree that if you want to do something like Hive Backed Gold, it should be a separate token. The mechanisms stabilizing HBD seem to have been effective so far, so this should also work for gold

Except the gold pegged token would become more valuable over time as the HBD decreases in value! Running in parallel might be an interesting experiment!

Would be funny to then make a HBG-backed dollar stablecoin - HBGD!

No it wouldn’t, it would break immediately.

Nobody wants a token that’s not backed by real value. A peg via a stabilizer wouldn’t work.

And gold backed crypto’s r silly too. The whole purpose is not needing to trust a third party. It is the wiser of both worlds, U don’t hold the metals , and u have to trust a centralized third party on other side. People will learn hard way. The only mainstream gold backed crypto keeps there gold at the Canadian mint 😅. Defeats whole purpose

I wouldn't say that "nobody wants" this. A lot of people actually appreciate having exposure to the price, without caring about the backing. That's why cash-settled futures exist. But then again, in a (hypothetical) scenario of a HBG, each token would be backed by 1 ounce worth of HIVE, a liquid token, no?
