Title: What are stable coins?
Post by: paparexon0414 on July 20, 2018, 02:35:13 PM
What are stable coins and why do we need them?
This is one topic that catch my attentions. I have this article about stable coins and they are attracting big league investors. Will quote some part of the article.
"stable coins are designed to keep their price fixed, making them immune to manipulation trading. It could be argued that price stability will help to bring about the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, as they are seeming more reliable and, therefore, attractive to major financial players. The recent IBM deal — along with other investments mentioned in this article — partly confirm that assumption."

Three types of stable coins can be outlined, depending on the type of collateralization they entail.

1. Fiat-collateralized
2. Non-collateralized
3. Crypto-collateralized

Decentralized crypto currency can not be stable in nature. They have no controls, no one is supported in the price and is not provided with anything, and their price is formed only on the basis of the ratio of supply and demand, and they are never permanent. Among the crypto currency, only Tether is stable, since it is in fact a digital counterpart of the dollar.

Stable coin is a good and healthy concept for the investors and exchanges must have it to guarantee a flawless trading experience. USDT is the most used stable coin but not the most trustable one for sure. IBM's idea is good and many will support and use its coin, who don't trust such a big company?

I think any stable coin is designed for keeping its price fixed and thus it can help the mass adoption of currencies. Yes fiat is stable but with having some limited features.

USDT is a stable coin.. But when do you use USDT coin? You use it only to convert your other coins temporarily, but no one holds USDT..

The number of people not holding USDT just indicates that market doesnt needs a stable coin - not right now atleast

Actually Crypto market is fully unpredictable market based on this most of the coins vary their price because of demand and supply also when the demand is high or low the price fluctuate so it is really tough to find the stable coins but in market we need this types of coins.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum etc. have high volatilty which makes it inconvenient for us to use cryptocurrencyto fulfill our daily needs. Stable coins are just global coins which are not tied to any central bank, and it reduces the volatility thus we can use cryptocurrency in a more convenient way. That's why stable coins are needed in cryptocurrency.

From my point of view it a very important thing. To know about stable coin is very important. I think stable coin is used immune the manipulate trading. Its price is fixed. Because of this reason it helps to bring about the bunch adoption of cryptocurrency. Recently IBM deal can portrait many thing.

In my own experience since I joined in cryptocurrency world. There is no coin in the market that is stable, all are unpredictable or unstable in nature. That's why others find it hard to deal with crypto because of its unstable condion.

Non decentralized coins though stable but it is also its weakness since if the center of its administration have encountered a huge problem then the whole system will be affected. It is also not true that it will not be prone to manipulation, it may be true to the value but the manipulation of supply or corruption by the management is prevalent.

Stable coins are most likely to be trade. So, we can always rely on them since their price is fix. These nonstable coins, you can expect how much your profit will be. Unlike the nonstable coins that you cannot compute your exact profit.

If you look closely the crypto market and compared it to stocks currencies and other valued and tradeable stuffs then you can see its high volatility. But if you are looking for a more stable coins inside the crypto market only then you can pick the top coins like bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin and others.

Right now, there are no coins that can be termed as stable coins. This is because the market is still in a dip and it is slightly going for a bull run. It is happening but at a slow pace. On top of that, the price is fluctuating a lot.

It is as simple as there is no permanent in lofe but change, bitcoin or other coins varies on its users therefore if people or the investors have stable thinking probably all coins may be stable. Even currency is not stable, it differs on value, on exchange and such. All in all, it is better to ise bitcoin in trading because of its potential, or somewhat it is good to invest in bitcoin.

Stable coin define as a fixed price coin but this stable coins is not good for investors because they not get good returns. decentralized coins is volatile and they move according to market supply and demands. so if we think to invest in stable coins then we get only fixed income not good return on over investment so beneficial coin is decentralized coin because theie price is volatile.

We can really treat the giant coins as a stable one because for sure they can survive whatever happen in this market. Volatilty is very high with some other coins, traders love it but of course as a hodlers you want more a stable one that keeps on growing.

Currency stability depends mainly on whether the economy of the country is stable. At present, the relatively stable foreign currency has USD, Euro!
More than 80% of international trade and foreign exchange transactions use the US dollar as the currency of valuation. The US dollar is the most active currency and plays an absolutely important role in international trade and finance.

A “stable coin” is a cryptocurrency that is pegged to another stable asset, like gold or the U.S. dollar. It’s a currency that is global, but is not tied to a central bank and has low volatility. This allows for practical usage of using cryptocurrency like paying for things every single day.Coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum and highly volatile. On any given day, it is common to see an increase to 10-20% or even a decrease. That makes using most cryptocurrencies for daily transactions inconvenient. Imagine paying $5 for your flat white (my coffee of choice) today and finding out tomorrow that it should have been $4. Price changes like that are shocking for a consumer. The adoption of stable coins will be be a catalyst to the new decentralized internet becoming mainstream.

If you find any crypto coin that it market is stable, know that the coin is not decentralized.
Cryptocurrency is all decentralisation, if you are think of having a stable coin,  then it means you are thinking out the box.

If Crypto currencies market is stable, there won't be need for traders, because you won't make any profit (money) for trading or holding any particular coin.

Stability is not about crypto actually. Yes, the long term goal should be a stable solid price for crypto, but now it's impossible. All these stable coins with a fixed price like Tether, I guess, attract so much investors attention mainly for the one purpose - to sit out the market dip and to speculate.

in fact it is true that the price will never be stable until whenever. because the current situation and the first is different, especially when this is also interested in growing and there are also who do not like the existence of coin. so it sometimes makes the coin price up and down.

IMO, stable coins are the cryptos in which the exchange rate always holds at a specific value. As all the currencies in the world are converted to USD. And in the cryptocurrency market at the moment, USDT is a stable coin. The exchange rate is always stable at 1 USD = 1 USDT and is safe crypto to preserve capital when the market fluctuates in the exchange rate.

In terms of price there is no stable value of decentralized currency because their value is depending on the demand and supply, but i think to determine the stability of a coin is those coin are continuous moving forward with a good value which is we can used for long period of time or until in the future, of course bitcoin is the main coin which is very strong and stable, next for me is Ethereum and BCH these coin is can be used in the future like what bitcoin feature right now,

If we want to see mass adoption of cryptos it is important for the market to become stable, but right now, that's only a possibility. In future cryptos price may become stable in governments intervene which will definitely attract all the investors and create a stable market and community.

Yes if bitcoin used as currency it will be stable because there is no unstable currency. The stability of the currency is certain because currency is used to buy an item/pay a service if it’s not stable then it will be difficult to determine the price of goods/services offered.

Post by: cr197 on July 31, 2018, 02:37:37 PM
All these existing stablecoins are focusing on a hard pegged solution which provide very little incentive to provide any ROI if people hold their capital within them. They are mainly used for the sake to hedge their capital in and out of volatile cryptocurrencies.

It's obvious that if anything of them require collateral then they are centralized and higher risk to decentralized solutions.
There are less than a handful that claim they are decentralized, and at best they are more a pseudo-decentralized version. Collateral and 'reserves' are not much different from each other in the fact that they 'require' trust.


There is a new design in development that doesn't utilize any sort of collateral or reserve token. It's truly decentralized - no trust is needed.
The whitepaper was just released last week.
The protocol is much different from other non-collaterals like Basis, Fragments, Kowala, and Carbon.
It's a dynamic peg. Price can still fluctuate but volatility will be controlled by both the coin holders who can vote on price stability or by allowing for an algorithm to automate the process.

BitBay will be the first coin in the entire industry that will have solved crypto 1.0 and crypto 2.0
Crypto 1.0 being the ability to completely remove the middleman from transactions.
Crypto 2.0 being price stability so that the coin can be used as a currency.

Of all the other stablecoins., none of them have yet to solve crypto 1.0, which will most likely take them years to develop and test if they were to mimic BitBay's trustless marketplace.
Since BitBay's price is not hard pegged, the potential ROI for actually holding the coin is literally exponentially higher than other hard pegged currencies. This is especially the case for fiat backed stablecoins where governments continue to devalue their prices by printing more than they can back.

Imagine using a hard pegged currency like tether to hedge against bitcoin's price volatility. You can only make money by correctly guessing you hedge in and out of bitcoin's ups and downs. You most likely lose money in the transaction from the exchange spread. Although it would be a small amount it's still a loss and would increase depending on the amount of equity traded.

Now imagine a soft pegged currency like BitBay as a hedging tool.
For example, you think Bitcoin is going to drop in value over the next few days. So you sell your Bitcoin for BitBay. And then it turns out you are correct. Now the rest of the 'herd' is in fear of their equity and they too sell their Bitcoin for BitBay. Yet this higher demand from the 'herd' causes the price of BitBay to go up in value. Now you foresee that the Bitcoin correction is at it's bottom. So you sell your BitBay for Bitcoin. So now you've increased your ROI because you sold your higher bitcoin for a lower BitBay and then sold your higher BitBay for a lower bitcoin.
If you miss your window of opportunity to renter Bitcoin at a lower price, then you can stake the capital you hold in BitBay for a variable ROI that is currently averaging around 2.7% APR. No hard pegged currency is going to reward you that much. And you have the assurance knowing that if the price of BitBay tries to drop your capital will be protected by it's dynamic peg algo that stabilizes the supply and demand on the exchanges. If this causes some of your capital to freeze in the process of waiting, then your temporarily frozen coins can stake for an even higher variable APR.

Hard pegged coins can't even remotely begin to mimic this other than weakly through a spread that most likely works against you.



Now imagine you want to cash out some of your profits. You use BitBay's cash for coins smart contract (already built into the wallet), that mimics like a "trustless"  private localbitcoins.com transaction.
All these other stablecoins in existence can't compete against that. They are all dependent on a 3rd party service to allow for transacting with any level of pseudo-security.

Peg release is set for late Q3 to early Q4 2018

This is one topic that catch my attentions. I have this article about stable coins and they are attracting big league investors. Will quote some part of the article.
"stable coins are designed to keep their price fixed, making them immune to manipulation trading. It could be argued that price stability will help to bring about the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, as they are seeming more reliable and, therefore, attractive to major financial players. The recent IBM deal — along with other investments mentioned in this article — partly confirm that assumption."

Three types of stable coins can be outlined, depending on the type of collateralization they entail.

1. Fiat-collateralized
2. Non-collateralized
3. Crypto-collateralized

I think these coins are the most stable at right now:-

DEX
EOS
IOTA
WAVES

I think these coins are the future bright.

I don't understand how crypto coins can be stable. After all, in the script there are no auxiliary organs for this coin and they are not tied to anything. Their price depends on supply and demand. So there can be no stability now.

I think any stable coin is designed for keeping its price fixed and thus it can help the mass adoption of currencies. Yes fiat is stable but with having some limited features.

Not all FIAT is stable ... consider some currency of a country nobody is interested in holding ... this particular FIAT currency is volatile and any other currency is potentially volatile

Decentralized crypto currency can not be stable in nature. They have no controls, no one is supported in the price and is not provided with anything, and their price is formed only on the basis of the ratio of supply and demand, and they are never permanent. Among the crypto currency, only Tether is stable, since it is in fact a digital counterpart of the dollar.

I must disagree.
Decentralized cryptocurrencies should be controlled by everyone, not nobody. USD is backed by the "full faith of the US government". Decentralized cryptocurrencies are backed exclusively by their users. This prevents price control from falling within the hands of a select few, who ultimately will manipulate it to their advantage or fail to regulate the supply.

In the end, people can lose faith in the custodians of their currency (or it's pegged asset).
But they will never lose faith in their own personal judgment of value. This is why a decentralized and non-collateralized stablecoin will always be a better system.

For a stablecoin to sustain itself, it must not have a permanent and fixed price. It must adapt to the economic demand applied to it, coinciding with the change in value of goods/services.

With a decentralized and non-collateralized peg, (like BitBay's mentioned above) the price can move at a healthy and steady rate, giving investors a place to park (and grow) their profits while also providing users with a medium of exchange.

Stable coin is a good and healthy concept for the investors and exchanges must have it to guarantee a flawless trading experience. USDT is the most used stable coin but not the most trustable one for sure. IBM's idea is good and many will support and use its coin, who don't trust such a big company?

I tend not to trust large companies, nor small companies for that matter. The whole thing about cryptos is to be able to have formal veryfication to avoid trust.

to me, stable coins or tokens are those alt coins that are able to maintain a certain range in value.
for example, the tokens never drops below 5$ irrespective of the massive dump

those are tokens that should be refered too as stable, strong and reliable.

With the recent trend in the market, we have seen that anything can happen and the price of  a coin can reduce beyond reasonable doubt, and for this reason, I would like to think that there is no such thing as stable coins. The volatility of the market is someething to bother about, and something that no one has control over.

Is it just me, or does any other person think that there cannot really be anything like a stable coin in this market? Correct me if I'm wrong, but the market is known for it volatility and so, there is no such thing as a stable coin. At some point, the coins manifest in a way that is unstable.  I think anyone that talks about having a stable coin, is just trying to cajole anyone to invest in the coin.

I also do that to support stable coins.
I know stable coins would having a big helps to crypto.
Represent anything, such as crypto collateralized.
But it will be very difficult to be stable because there are still a lot of big whales still able to manipulate the price in the market. We can only support it but the big whales will keep manipulating the price in the market and we can’t do anything when the big whales do it.

The crytocurrency needs a stable coin. For example, like the tether coin. When the market is experiencing some bad downtrend, many users are trading their tokens in exchange for a tether coin or a stable coin to keep its balance stable. In order to avoid doing loss due to market down price.

Stable cryptocurrencies are coins with less variable token price. A good example of stable coin is Tether, since the beginning of 2018, tether has been on $1 and sometimes low of $0.98. The value of the token is same since its emergence in the crypto market. Another example of stable coin is TrueUSD.

There's no point to trade if all coins are stable.

Just think of forex, each currency is also moving despite of its use as a local currency.

Stable acoins are my very best friend while trading, they help me to keep the value of my coins constant while the market is in a bearish session but once I see an uptrend, I quickly convert to a coin that would moon well, that is how I trade.

In the cryptocurrency market there are no stable coins, all assets are very unpredictable and their price constantly fluctuates in different directions. Today she can make you rich and tomorrow she can make you poor like you've never been. Invest in the right assets


Unless there is a proper and constant verification and audit of the reserves.
Let's take the example of EURS (euro stablecoin). Each EURS on blockchain is backed by 1 fiat euro. If the price will go down and will be less than one euro, investors will buy and them come to STASIS  (stablecoin issuer) and redeem it for 1 euro. So, there will be arbitrage and the price will be pushed backed to 1. In case the price will be more than 1 euro for an EURS token, investors will buy it from STASIS and then sell it to the market and make profit.
In order to assure investors and holders that each EURS is backed by one euro, they provide three streams of verification. You can check them our here: https://stasis.net/transparency/

Well, for newbies, everyone needs to learn how to correctly determine the trend. This is usually the most common mistake. people think that this is the bull has started but this is false

Stable coins are usually tied to something, so they have no problems with growth or decline in the market, but not everyone is interested in such coins!

People are not interested on it as a currency but as a safe place to hide your money from the volatility of other altcoins and to use it to buy those coins whenever their price drop or sell if it rises enough.

If I should answer to this topic from my understanding, stable coins are coins that have little difference in their price fluctuations, for instance, like Tether USD, it has some level of stability which I can refer to as a stable coin, and there maybe some other ones which I may not have mentioned though.

I don't know for sure, but as far as I know stable coins are coins made for people who prefer to invest more safely if you are good enough to save assets and profits, but in my opinion if everyone does, the transaction volume will be smaller and that can make Bitcoin lower.

Not all currencies must be stable. It would be enough if two or three of the most powerful on the market. It would certainly have a good effect on the entire market. The rest can be used for speculative purposes until strengthen enough to achieve stabilization.

Closer to say as stable coin inside crypto market, but in some point of time Tether also lose some value against btc, but in most cases this coin is the most
relevant in term of being stable while the market situation is still down, you can trade your crypto coin to this if you are planning to stay away for a while then be back after you are ready again to deal with the market.

Stable coins are those crypto assets like usdt and dai that have stability and as for me it is something you should keep to buy crypto for lower price/ Don't avoid holding stable coins!

the crypto market is not regulated by anyone and price movements can be said to be very unstable because it can change at any time. Regarding stable coins, there is always an attraction for fans such as altcoin investors, with fixed price movements that allow investors to invest in altcoins that have many users, because they tend not to go down and not go up, or price movements only at fixed

Stability in cryptocurrencies is like stability in the stock market. It simply does not exist, there are huge amounts of money in the stock market, which today are trying to sway to make money, but not so much so as not to cripple the economies of countries.

Stable coins are those which are basically zero or a little volatile irrespective of the market price. One of the stable coin is like USDT which is very stable cryptocurrency and it is backed by USD. Also, some more stable coin which are also backed by Gold and their volatile occur in terms of Gold volatility.

A “stable coin” is a cryptocurrency that is pegged to another stable asset, like gold or the U.S. dollar. It’s a currency that is global, but is not tied to a central bank and has low volatility. This allows for practical usage of using cryptocurrency like paying for things every single day.

What are stable coins and why do we need them?
This is one topic that catch my attentions. I have this article about stable coins and they are attracting big league investors. Will quote some part of the article.
"stable coins are designed to keep their price fixed, making them immune to manipulation trading. It could be argued that price stability will help to bring about the mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, as they are seeming more reliable and, therefore, attractive to major financial players. The recent IBM deal — along with other investments mentioned in this article — partly confirm that assumption."

Three types of stable coins can be outlined, depending on the type of collateralization they entail.

1. Fiat-collateralized
2. Non-collateralized
3. Crypto-collateralized

To know more and read the detailed article. Pls chck this link.

Some currencies offer ideas in their projects such as stability through products
For example, a wpp energy project gives a time schedule to stabilize its wpp token by linking the currency to the value of the product it will produce (HYDROGEN GAS (H2)​
if they do, it will be a wonderful step and I will trust.

The product will not create a stable value and it needs something that has stable value to create stable value for WPP token. SO many platforms have tried to do that and they are getting fail for that. I know havven and that's a similar platform that has the same idea like WPP but its fail.

Basically they are assets that have the characteristics of stability in price and are suitable for mid and shorter investment. I have seen a couple of stable coins in the market and more others coming. It's a realky helpful idea for almost all persons in the Crypto world
