The idea of 2 complementary currencies with a focused design is very interesting. One could be optimised as a pure transactional with a stable exchange, and the other as a deflationary store of value. And still have the benefits of a decentralised, near-anonymous and non seizable.
Let speculators speculate with bitcoins, and merchants deal with the other one. And let people choose a mix of both according to mood.
Exactly! Like having both a checking account and a savings accounts.
From what I see, I suspect is more like a checking account and a stock playground at NYSE. A savings account is not that volatile.
