I personally wouldn't like my wage to fluctuate by +/- 5 % to the value of an inflationary currency. Especially one that is that the whim of an idiot.

Edit: I would really love to hear what you disagree with here.

I am Argentinian, and even though I dont live there, sometimes my family's wages fluctuate 30% in a month by the country's inflationary currency. I think I can see a strong use-case here. Do you have any idea how many people in countries with ever-fluctuating currencies would be able to live more peacefully by choosing DAI?

7

WeLiveInaBubble Yesterday

That's a really interesting point. Thank you. I live in the UK and have considered DAI so as not to be exposed to the Brexit Pound but that is nowhere near as volatile as other countries. I love when I'm a little less ignorant through replies to an ignorant comment I've made. Though I do think in my personal case, GBP to USD is less a good case to use DAI.

I think the inflection point between two currencies is often not seen from people in places with more stable economies. So we lack a good frame of reference. It's usually in developing countries where the benefits of decentralized currency would take more place.

mariapaulafn Just Awesome Yesterday

I too would prefer DAI to be pegged to a currency more adapted to my political ideology, but hey - it's only a currency, and it should not reflect any political inclination. As long as its relatively stable, it should work (and as long as he doesn't pull some kind of law to have his face in a bill - I'd probably quit the world in general :) )  From my experience with contractors in Argentina and DAI, and why is better than transacting in USD: 1. Once the money hits your account, it converts to Pesos at the current market rate (unless is a Dollar-specific bank account, which used to exist but now im not really sure, as some years ago, the government blocked the citizens from freely exchanging pesos to foreign currencies, as the peso is so unstable that EVERYONE saves in dollars - and properties are valued in dollars) - hence, you might wake up a week from when you got your salary, and it can totally be 10% less valuable, for no apparent reason. 2. Complex banking system: Argentina - as the US - does not have IBAN, so if you work remote, your contractors will have to go through a routed bank to send you the money, and this might easily take 5 days, that is, if the transaction is done correctly, if there are no bank holidays in the countries, or bank strikes (also normal). Obviously DAI transactions are fast and exchanges in Argentina have amazing experience - I am really surprised by BuenBit, it's faster and more effective for KYC, fees and tx than any other centralized exchange i have ever seen - because the people really need it. 3. Sometimes there's no cash in the ATMs: yeah, south america. Especially on long weekends. So if you could transact with vendors and your phones, that would be ace. 4. DAI can stay in your wallet, and you can choose the exact time to exchange it for pesos (i think it converts straight to pesos, not to USD), so probably, if you exchange just what you need, and then wait till the peso fluctuates in favor of USD, then you actually have a tool to protect you against the fluctuations, which are the whims of +100 years of history of plain idiots mismanaging a country. Sorry for the wall of text, but maybe it's interesting for you :)

Personally I would prefer not to be paid in something pegged to the value of the dollar. That's how they steal from us though inflation.

0

USBayernChelseaLCFC Yesterday

That’s an unrealistic sentiment - if the value of what you’re paid in devalues to the equivalent of cents to the dollar you would not accept that form of payment any longer. Or would you not?

2

ericools Yesterday

I would accept it if nobody was willing to pay me in a better currency, the same reason I accept dollars. I wouldn't hold it any longer than I absolutely had to though, and I would greatly prefer to be paid in something that can't others can't print more of whenever they want.

1

mariapaulafn Just Awesome Yesterday

Well, OP should know that there are things called payment terms, and that you can choose to add to your payment terms "XXXX USD on its equivalent in DAI on the day of the payment" so then you can even steal from them. Or by hodling DAI (and only cashing out when needed) till inflation goes down, and then offboarding. Inflation hacks FTW.

iLoveStableCoins Yesterday

Btw, Dai on compound, dharma or expo earns in interest much, much more than it loses via inflation by the fed. Inflation is 3% (at most) and interest on dai is 6-12% right now.

3

ericools Yesterday

The inflation figures are arguable, but setting that aside for the moment. Where exactly does that 6-12% interest come from?

0

iLoveStableCoins Yesterday

Exporrading.com/lend currently 12% and dharma is doing 11%

1

ericools Yesterday

Yeah, you told me that. I didn't ask who was offering it. I asked where those funds come from. Dharma is paying you interest on your DAI in the same way banks pay interest on savings (or at least used to). It's not part of DAI. It's something that could be just as easily offered for any other token and is. The rate for DAI is pretty good at the moment, but I have a small amount of ETH earning 6.5% right now, that beats 3% inflation and it's on a coin that doesn't suffer the dollars inflation. Earning that percentage on either coin however is a considerable risk. It requires you to give your coins to someone else and trust not only that they pay the interest out, but that they actually give you back your original coins at some point. This is a risk people need to consider and shouldn't be something everyone needs to rely on simply to avoid inflation tax. Even if DAI manages to hold it's peg long term USD inflation isn't always going to be 3%. It's very likely to get a lot higher than that. The debt situation in the US is to the point where the only way to avoid default will be to print more and more dollars. Loans from operations like Dharma are already expensive. How many people are going to borrow if they go up by 10%? This is not a reliable mechanism.

In fairness most of the report has been released. Like there's plenty of content and context there.

1

RespectTheLaw Yesterday

Glenn's living in a fantasy world if he thinks that's the case. Or he hasn't read the report. The report is clear that there was communication between the Trump campaign and representatives of the Russian government regarding information that would be damaging to Clinton. The caveat is that there was not sufficient evidence to prosecute (at least in this redacted version). I have a feeling we'll see what evidence was uncovered when the unredacted version hits. There's also language that Mueller believes Trump Jr./Kushner didn't know what they were doing was technically illegal, which is a sorry excuse for not pursuing charges.

This is a pretty stupid statement: “ One can debate whether it’s unethical for a presidential campaign to have dirt about its opponent released by a foreign government, “ because Trump and his campaign had no role or control over what dirt was released. There is no ethical role to play. If the campaign had asked that foreign government not to release the dirt that WOULD BE collusion.

God... I'm going to start hitting the Intercept just to mine the comments. He's set up such an unsustainable coalition of idiots that it's mind boggling.

But I guess it was pretty foreseeable considering the outlet he tried to set up: a bunch of real journalists--who all quit, except GG, within like 2 months--to keep the sane smart people reading and Progressives--including Martin Luther Cream himself--to signal their amazing virtue. So they have like a dozen sane people (who frankly sound like misplaced pedes and probably aren't regular readers) fighting a mountain of crazy coming at every angle.

From the comments, for your pleasure:

OK, suppose Glenn's analysis is correct. What about the 2020 election? Don't you think Trump and his people will try to steal that one? Mueller can't exonerate Trump from future crimes.

Trump propagandists like Barr and Greenwald have subtly shifted from claiming no collusion to claiming that Trump didn't collude in Russian hacking.

Please show us the quote, the exact quote that states “Trump is innocent beyond a reasonable doubt”

Of course Trump didn't collude in Russian hacking. Nobody ever though he did. Trump wouldn't know how to use a computer let alone hack one.

What the Trumpies did do is collude with Russia to illegally influence the election in return for changes in US foreign policy."

The Intercept used to have a good comments section. It's corrupted now, like everything else on the Internet.

A New Approach to Trust

A trustless derivative contract allows bitcoin collateral to be posted by both parties and locked in a 2-of-2 multisignature smart contract until its maturity date, when it is automatically disbursed using signatures from the participants and a trusted price feed oracle.

Crypto Garage’s implementation on Bitcoin is based on Trustless Forward Contracts, first proposed by Yutaka Nakasone from Crypto Garage. It incentivizes both parties to act truthfully with their signature; if one party tries to cheat, their entire collateral is at risk.

To begin the transaction, party A and party B post the maximum profit and loss exposure they each hold for the trade. All possible outcomes of the contract are then pre-generated as partial transactions, known as Contract Execution Transactions (CETx). When the maturity date arrives, the oracle broadcasts the spot price of BTCUSD with its signature, and either party A or party B sends a signature to the corresponding CETx.

Once the signature is received and matches the oracle’s signature, the settlement is complete. If one counterparty attempts to broadcast a false narrative that differs from the rate quoted by the oracle, that counterparty loses all of its collateral to the honest (or slower) counterparty. To incentivize a prompt closeout, if neither counterparty signs on the maturity date, the transaction enters a “delayed” state and the party that realizes first can sign to withdraw the entire collateral.
