BTC collateralized and calling it a stablecoin? The logical inference would be BTC = Stablecoin.
Does not compute
BTC is a very volatile asset. How is an asset collateralized on it anyway remotely stable, unless you're using another asset to hedge against the volatility or you've got a perfectly, functional crystal ball
You're absolutely right! I super agree with you on that point.
So, this is what 'em say on their web:
-I'm just quoting the explanation on their web related to your above post-To solve Bitcoins volatility problem, we will provide a Bitcoin-collateralized stablecoin using a three-party system:
We strip Bitcoins volatility into two separate tokens:
The Dollar on Chain (DOC), is pegged to us Dollar for risk-averse individuals
The BitPRO, a token for risk-propense Bitcoin holders seeking a passive income in BTC
The DOC tokens will be stable and pegged to the US dollar, such that each DOC token will have a value of USD 1. As these tokens will be entirely stable, they are a volatility-free asset that will perform the three functions of money mentioned above: a medium of exchange, unit of account, and a store of value.

So, for the risk-averse, they have the option to peg this BTC-collaterized stablecoin to another stable coin called DOC, while the adventurous are just sticking to BTC by another name, Bitpro. There are numerous stable coins to chose from already, what makes DOC any different?
