What are the obstacles to pegging the value of bitcoin to an established stable currency?
Many people will not touch bitcoin due to it’s historically extreme volatility. Many new currencies have pegged their value against an established currency until such time as it is sufficiently established to be decoupled.
For example the Irish punt was linked to the Sterling pound until they joined the European Monetary Union in 1979.
Would it be possible perhaps by way of a financial service organisation that guarantees a value against a stable currency such as the swiss franc for example, this using bitcoin as a form of promisory note?
Is the agreement of a fixed rate against an established currency like type of future or option in the stock market?
I think this could help speed adoption.
