    Stablecoins are an attempt to create a cryptocurrency that isn’t volatile. A stablecoin’s value is pegged to a real world currency, also known as fiat currency. For example, the Stablecoin known as Tether, or USDT, is worth 1 US dollar and is expected to maintain this peg no matter what.
    That’s Stablecoins in a nutshell. If you want a deeper explanation keep on watching the video, here’s what I’ll cover:
    0:37 - Cryptocurrency volatility
    1:40 - Stablecoins in a nutshell
    2:22 - Main usage of stablecoins
    3:20 - Stablecoin peg types
    6:47 - Stablecoin business models
    7:17 - Popular Stablecoins in use today
    8:24 - Stablecoin crticism
    10:12 - Conclusion

I suspect over time once the volatility is not as great SC's will provide a further use utility to the crypto space. We don't always know from the outset how things are likely to morph. But brilliant video.

    How does an algorithmic peg work? If the price drops and there is a need to remove coins in circulation, from whose account should the coins be removed? And if the algorithm decides to remove 1 coin from your account (randomly chosen or otherwise), why would you agree to it? How is it fair that you end up being the one who pays for it, pay for the price drop or drop in demand?

    One thing that no one emphasizes is that when the dollar value crashes....so goes the stablecoin value. So many people in the crypto space will tell you to put your checking account money into one of the stable coins because of the fear of the dollar crashing eminently - but then when you ask them what’s the point of doing that when the stable coin is pegged to the dollar -........ crickets.

    Thanks for this video. Could you please clarify, does this mean, that to take profit, instead of selling my crypto at the top (using the sell function) , I can instead use the SWAP function and swap my profitable crypto for a stablecoin? instead of actually "selling" it using the sell option? and then, to the opposite, to get back in at the dip?

    • @99Bitcoins
      @99Bitcoins  3 роки тому +2

      Whether you convert coins to fiat or stablecoins, you are in effect selling your bitcoins for payment in fiat / stablecoin. So swapping and selling are really the same thing - converting one form of currency for another.

    Can we peg a crypto currency to any value?
    If I want my coin to be valued at 10 usd today and 20 usd tomorrow and 5 usd after that and so on?

    USDT recently hit the news as it underwent a major "audit", partly to stay in compliance with a recent settlement agreement made between Tether and the New York Attorney General's Office. But the veracity of this audit has been called into question by many crypto experts. Seen as an attempt to answer critics on what actually backs USDT, the audit still left many unanswered questions.
    While Tether released a range of different figures, including that their reserves were made up of 65.39% "Commercial Paper", no more detail was given---like the individual ratings of these backings or who they were issued by. Tether did not declare who the borrowers of loans were or what the collateral backing them was. "Commercial paper" is a huge red flag for me.

    So tether is essentially like going to cash or "flat" as you would in the stock market?

    Too overstated for good orientation going into a future and forward path onto digital money/assets /personal autonomy. The concepts here all flip in a flash moment depending on the calming or the escape of and from fiat banking money just as a generalized start path
