I'm not talking about these supposed stablecoins like Tether, but normal coins. Let's say an agreement was made among all the major Bitcoin exchanges. Starting January 1, a Bitcoin is worth $5000 USD, plain and simple, and that's it. The price never goes higher or lower. A Bitcoin is $5000 today, tomorrow, next week, next month, etc. NOTHING changes it. Not a war, not the economy, not Trump getting re-elected (which he will, he's doing a great job), nothing.
I wonder if that could be done and what the effect would be.
One effect is that I wouldn't be buying BTC, because with no price volatility, how could I ever make a profit? But one good thing is that normal companies may be more inclined to use Bitcoin, since its price is now fixed and does not change.
Then what would make difference between fiats and cryto currencies. Fluctuation is its natural character which is the main reason for crypto market's strength. It has reduced enormous issues faced because of banking system and its protection on the customer's assets. Blockchain has been crypto's backbone to achieve success to this level.
