RE: Is Tether a real safety net for the crytocurrency world?

in #vincentb9 years ago

Tether was sketchy from the start. One alternative might be gold backed cryptos, like Xaurum or the soon to be project of the Perth Mint.

Sort:  

I don't think that the problem in this case is what do you use to back its value. For example, the venezuelan government will issue an oil backed crypto. I think that it's a matter of trust in who is behind it

Yes that is absolutely true. Gold is just one example of a trusted commodity. There can be many others.
