2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / The future of virtual coins / cryptocurrencies on: June 13, 2017, 05:56:59 PM

The following quote is from Jared Tate (Digibyte)

》》》》

Finally, a few housekeeping notes. All recent orders on DigiByte Market will be refunded due to the recent price fluctuations.

This remark by Jared underlines the problem of many coins. All use cases get crushed by speculation. So in the end the network/blockchain is useable with the tokens on it as long as the tokens are private. Probably these blockchain services will all switch to fiat money and drop the whole speculative coin part.Banks will adapt and away is our speculative cryptocoin world.

IMHO no blockchain service needs a public coin/token and having such a token heavily undermines much of the underlying practical use cases. Public coins will never provide the stability companies and users (other than speculators) seek. In my view every respectable fintech company will sooner or later switch to private coins or tokens making the current reality one of coins as a cash cow, as an of stock source of income, to create the basis for this companies to develop their blockchain services.

3  Economy / Exchanges / Stability and Solvability of Exchanges on: June 04, 2017, 05:58:51 PM
I wonder if there are analyses made or good articles written about the stability and solvability of the coin exchanges. One can say that the whole coin market is an ever growing shadow economy in which an awful lot of money is being pumped around.

The in- and outflow of money is handled by a handful of exchanges (even less when you count the exchanges that enables you to withdraw in euros or dollars).

How stable and solvable is the system in case of a stampede? What will happen with fees, transaction times or exchanges going out of order or getting bankrupt?

I mean the music is playing and everybody is enjoying the dance. But somewhere we all know that the herd will press the pause button at a certain moment in time...what then? Is the system capable of handling such a stampede?
