I so much love the way you entitled your post.Anyway,more businesses are seeing the need to join the cryptorevolution and it isn't just amazon alone.The only limiting factor now is the extreme price volatility which makes some people feel there is the need for regulation before most enterprises can venture into it.
You are right! But what makes a currency stable? I am a bit old so I searched a bit and I found something
great, that I need to share with you. What makes a currency stable:
-it should be a global reserve currency (that is a strong sign of stability because many countries would need it)
-its liquidity should be high
-it should have a strong demand
-its country (issuer) should have a strong economy
-it should be linked to gold (or something valuable)
I think that some crypto-currencies can fulfill this demands in the future. Amazon alone
fulfilling more then half, they can make their own alt-coin and they can control the price.
In the end I wish to highlight something that I saw on same place, what makes a currency stable?
-
So this would be the answer - the illusion makes a currency stable - the illusion that it has a value.
The stronger the illusion gets, the more stable the currency will become. -The US dollar maintained this illusion even if its purchasing power constantly drops.
Indeed it is like that when you think about it! Great reading material, taken from:
