In today’s roundup of crypto chatter, Chris Troutner and Andreas Brekken play around with the idea of building an algorithmic stablecoin on BCH. Vin Armani debates with Painted Frog on Bitcoin’s similarities to Visa. Also, Paul Sztorc thinks that understanding Austrian economics is not that important to comprehend Bitcoin.

In his tweet, Brekken casually mentioned algorithmic stablecoins, an idea that Bitcoin.com senior developer Chris Troutner picked up on. Do you know of any algorithmic stable coins worth checking into, other than DAI? — Chris Troutner (@christroutner) December 30, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Troutner queried Brekken for alternatives to the DAI, but the latter was not familiar with the field. Brekken then explained that he was optimistic about the technology, even though many academics and maximalists don’t believe algorithmic stablecoins are possible. In response, Troutner called for the BCH community to bring DAI’s algorithmic technology onto BCH. He suggested using the Wormhole JavaScript SDK at developer.bitcoin.com to create an ERC20 token on the BCH blockchain. Instead of ETH, BCH would serve as a collateral asset. Even lead developer of Bitcoin ABC Amaury Sechet jumped into the thread, as he was positive on the idea. Whormhole or kekoen can most likely do this. — Deadal Nix (@deadalnix) December 31, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Bitcoin More Similar to Visa Than Gold Recently, CTO of Cointext Vin Armani had a debate with his followers on what the catalyst for Bitcoin mass adoption would be. Armani argued that those who stand to gain financially from bitcoin usage are the ones most likely to increase Bitcoin adoption. Incentivizing Bitcoin Mass Adoption Q. Who has the greatest incentive to convince you to use Visa? A. Visa Why? Because every time you use Visa, Visa makes money. Those who will be the catalyst for Bitcoin mass adoption will be those who get paid every time you use Bitcoin. — Ⓥin Ⓐrmani (@vinarmani) December 30, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Not everyone responded well to Armani’s theory, as commentator Painted Frog argued that Bitcoin is intrinsically valuable like gold. Since society didn’t need to be convinced to use gold in the past, Bitcoin like gold, will eventually be used everywhere. Armani responded by explaining that Bitcoin is more similar to Visa because both are systems and networks. On the other hand, gold is simply a shiny rock and an inert element. Bitcoin: A Peer-To-Peer Electronic Cash System Note the last word. That's the noun. What precedes it are adjectives. Bitcoin, like Visa, is a SYSTEM, a network. Gold is an inert element. A rock is not a system. — Ⓥin Ⓐrmani (@vinarmani) December 30, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js The Importance of Austrian Economics In Bitcoin Austrian economics has always been a huge part of the Bitcoin community, and the growing popularity of Bitcoin has sparked a revived interest in Austrian economics. This was pointed out by the President of the Nakamoto Institute Michael Goldstein on social media. Some like cryptocurrency pundit Murad Mahmudov agreed with Goldstein and tweeted that cryptocurrency community members who understand Austrian economics have an edge over those who don’t. Crypto market participants who do not have a grasp of Austrian econ are at a disadvantage. I’d argue that Bitcoin is an ‘Austrian’ technology & its success is breaking the legitimacy and relevance of a number of other economic schools in real time. “We are all Austrians now” https://t.co/glhjz0aFBQ — Murad Mahmudov (@MustStopMurad) December 29, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js However, director of research at Tierion Paul Sztorc and bitcoin pundit nic__carter both argued that the importance of Austrian economics is highly overstated in the cryptocurrency space. While nic__carter confessed that he had never read any books on Austrian economics, Sztorc explained that he was very familiar with the Austrian school of thought. Nor do I. A cursory understand of the inflation tax is sufficient. (And I say this despite having read AE very extensively.) https://t.co/B59qLJqHVJ — Paul Sztorc (@Truthcoin) December 30, 2018 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Despite a thorough understanding of Austrian Economics, Sztorc insists that only a brief understanding of how the government prints away purchasing power, also known as inflation tax, is enough to understand Bitcoin.
