Just remove USD from the picture - what would be the price for HERO than? What would show all those price feeds from our lovely witnesses when (and if) USD will gone? That is my primary question.
HERO is backed by BTS via collateral, but it's price depends on USD. The more BTS you need to back your HERO, the less HERO you can afford for a dollar (despite of the external exchange rate for BTS, which will obviously became huge in such circumstances), and USD will just gone. Can the feed be zeroed, and where will be those 5% per year than?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
HERO references USD so it's somewhat still required for price reference.
We could certainly switch from USD as the reference asset to another reference asset, in the case that USD is no longer a functioning FIAT cryptocurrency the world will be completely different and the price of BTS may be astronomical.
If USD fails as a fiat currency, we could potentially switch to an alternative reference asset after resolving the global settlement via the BSIP-018 recovery mechanisms.
The scenario where USD has failed as a FIAT currency has failed is unlikely to occur, if it does occur then people will possibly flee to crypto away from fiat.
