Title: This BTC parity is a bad idea
Post by: BitcoiNaked on January 13, 2015, 09:33:16 AM
So basically because of btc fuckups alt coins are getting dragged down the drain aswell, even if they are very promising. USD parity is better so they can stand on their own and not depend on btc.

That's true. But most of big exchange don't support altcoin exchange.

I agree but most exchanges don't accept USD.

USD isn't used worldwide

If US gets wiped out so will USD


BTC = Worldwide money

well being dependent on a bank controlled inflationary fiat would kinda defeat the whole purpose of a cryptocurrency.

i think exchanges should start experimenting with altcoins/bitUSD pairs or altcoins/nubits pairs.  i'd love to have some altcoin/fiat trading, but hate the idea of holding them in an exchange.  the beauty of bitUSD and nubits is you can keep 'fiat' in a wallet you control.

edit:  if some of you think bitUSD or nubits suck due a number of reasons, then it might be good to think about better bit.FIAT solutions.  it could be the next big thing for all we know.

Yes, pretty much all alt-coins (of significant market cap) are tied to/strongly correlated to BTC.

There are one or two notable exceptions. XPR, for example, while still correlated, is not as strongly coupled as the others.

Well, you should start and ask exchanges to add more counter exchangeable crypto coins. Still can't understand why we always just use "LTC" or "BTC" nice centralization ha ?
it is understandable btc and ltc is leading crypto currency it bridges the gap between fiat and crypto world! But some crypto are becoming popular and is linked directly to fiat as well.

If you are thinking of buying into alt-coin, then I think now would be a good time.

BTC is dragging everyone down with it. It's needless because many of the fundamental problems of BTC have been addressed by other alt-coins. Other alt-coins are capable of facilitating the needs of the future global economy. BTC isn't.

I'm an XRP fan (I don't hide this). Though be very very cautious at the moment - there's a lot of irrational movement going on.
