Re: [ANN] Bancor | Protocol for Smart-tokens, solving the liquidity problem

... for serious investing Bancor's new paradigm is a game changer. Once it'll be adopted, expect more and more big serious players enter the game and send the whole crypto economy to the moon.

Agreed. Bancor can only be good for the crypto economy.

At first I thought it looked like a great idea, then as I understood it a bit more I began to have reservations, but as my understanding continued to develop I began to see the full potential. For me at least it was a bit of a challenge to understand it properly, but after considerable reading (and re-reading!) I'm now convinced that it's a great prospect.

I think that you guys might be hitting on one of the biggest benefits and not even stating the fact. You mention that the buy and sell prices will will match and things like, based on the tokens price controls, but people miss a big thing. One of the hardest things to getting public acceptance of Bitcoin is the constant and furious value changes.

There may not be a $50 pop everyday, but there is a high amount of flucation and that can make it hard on people to use. A $1000 paycheck that is deposited into your Bitcoin account at one price index can become $1100 or $900 by the time that the wallet holder gets to the store to spend the Bitcoins.

Since confirmations take time, people have to plan on a public purchase ahead if they do not have Bitcoins in their spending wallet and the amount can have changed a good amount by the time they drive to the store.
