McAfee Champions Importance of Stablecoins for Decentralized Exchanges


American entrepreneur and staunch crypto advocate, John McAfee, has argued for the significance of stablecoins for decentralized alternate (DEX) adoption.

McAfee made his argument in a tweet posted on Oct. 20.

Stablecoins as an interim resolution

McAfee’s video begins by tackling the principle impediment to crypto-fiat foreign money conversions that use of a decentralized alternate poses for customers: 

“What’s the main issue with decentralized exchanges? It’s how do you get your fiat currencies in and out? […] very difficult, since no information is collected on a decentralized exchange, no name, no address, no social security number, no email, nothing.”

Rather than discover a mechanism for fiat conversions, McAfee outlined his imaginative and prescient for a actuality wherein nationwide fiat currencies turn into more and more irrelevant and a plurality of cryptocurrencies are enough to satisfy people’ wants:

“Imagine a world six months from now, a year from now, two years from now, where fiat currency is diminishing in importance, you can only buy houses and cars and shoes with crypto, with Bitcoin and Monero and Ethereum and others […] soon we’ll have the ability to acquire everything that we need with crypto.”

McAfee then proceeded to qualify his imaginative and prescient by proposing that — presumably within the interim — stablecoins comparable to DAI might help cut back the necessity for DEX customers to be involved about fiat withdrawals.

The DAI, he famous, is programmed through sensible contracts to by no means lose greenback parity by multiple share level — regardless of the scenario on the cryptocurrency markets:

“Imagine getting your currency out [of a DEX] in DAI, it’s always going to be worth a dollar.”

McAfee DEX

As reported, McAfee launched the McAfee DEX earlier this month; a decentralized, distributed buying and selling platform that entails no Know Your Customer checks and doesn’t block any jurisdictions.

Any ETH-based token (ERC-20 normal) — comparable to DAI — might be added with no price to the beta model, with extra unspecified tokens to be supported sooner or later.

At the time of its launch, McAfee argued in favor of DEXs by underscoring that the crypto group faces the query of whether or not its aspirations are restricted to merely increasing the probabilities for pure hypothesis —  “all about money” — or are about an excellent, specifically freedom.

As of January 2019, a survey of over 400 worldwide crypto exchanges had indicated that decentralized platforms accounted for simply 19% of the worldwide alternate ecosystem, and their buying and selling volumes amounted to lower than 1% of these on centralized exchanges.
