Basis is Building a New Crypto – Will it Be More Stable than Bitcoin and Replace Money?

It is remarkable that some of the most respected investors of Silicon Valley closed a fundraising deal with Basis. According to Basis, the new crypto will be more stable, as well as, it will maintain a more predictable price value comparing to other crypto assets, such as the Bitcoin.

Creating a digital coin which will not have the huge price swings of the other cryptos is the essential component of Basis’ vision. Additionally, the company aims at earning investors’ trust so that to promote further the digital coin investing.

Crypto bears criticized the digital coins for volatility and made them skeptical of cryptocurrency investing due to cryptos unpredictable volatility which may lead to significant losses.

The major sentiment about cryptos is that investors are keen on cryptos, but stability is a parameter that should be taken into account. One year ago, Druckenmiller, during his interview on CNBC, stated that he did not have any Bitcoin and distrusted the idea of using Bitcoin as a medium of exchange due to its unexpected volatility. It could be argued that if the cryptos were more stable and less volatile, then there would be a great opportunity for people to embrace the idea of replacing the real money.

Fast execution and the middleman cut off are two factors that could urge people to embrace the blockchain concept. Probably, in the future, a country could build different cryptos for different kinds of transactions. Nevertheless, this depends on the development of a monitoring framework which will protect investors and consumers.
