I think you would want the price to be unpegged, so that the market can decide the value of altcoins; so the best float to the surface (become more valuable) and the copycats/broken/dishonest ones sink to the bottom.
This whole smart this / micro that is just ignorant, we already have the ecosystem to completely replace FIAT gov./bank/company death spiral.
XT, Classic all of those are just the last breath of the super debt cycle.
Isn't "the market" deciding value if it considers a side-chain useful, and increases the value of btc? You don't need an altcoin... unless you like losing all your money.
