How is BitUSD going to work?

[bytemaster]

I have deposited a lot and my orders were snapped up.

Taxes, privacy, no need to trust external exchange with your funds.

Legally I believe that every time you buy an asset you pay taxes.. so you should be paying taxes every time you buy/sell BitUSD.

There is a market for BitUSD / USD on Bter.... so you know you can cash out if you want to.

OMG THIS IS EPIC! 

Nice.. the price of BitUSD is almost $2?  haha

Exchange will not let me deposit, I have extra I can sell (for a profit...)

maybe I do not get it properly but it is worth a question:

starting point:

I think the current price of BitsharesX is for some reason high/sufficiently high and I am planning to short

assumptions:

I have the possibility to sell bitsharesX on an exchange for USD
I have the possibility to ask BitUsd for BitsharesX on the decentralized exchange within the system
My preference order at this point of time is for obvious reasons USD > BitUSD - acceptance, possibility to buy/sell other coins, etc pp. ( I see that this could potentially change in the future but I think at this point of time this is a rational assumption)

question:

what is the incentive to ask bitusd if the possibility to sell on an exchange exists at this point of time

No incentive, feel free to sell BTSX externally.

is there another reason to ask on the decentralized exchange than to expect decreasing external prices of bitsharesX?

my question was by no means meant confrontative - I am just wondering why the ask side should work - e.g. what the incentive for asking is

You have it right - you buy bitUSD if you want stability or expect external price to decrease

So here's the idea, similar to how BitUSD works, why not create another asset that constantly increases in value relative to itself.

Let's call it BitDouble.  For example, marketpeg it so that today it's value is 1 BTSX which is , then have the market agree that every year it's value goes up by 100%.  So next year, it's worth 2 BTSX, following year it's worth 4 BTSX, 8 BTSX, 16 BTSX, etc.

At any point in time, anyone can buy into BitDouble and be guaranteed to double their money one year from now.

Or for that matter.. BitTriple or BitQuadraple would be pretty awesome investments.

If market pegging to USD works.. I don't see any reason this one wouldn't, right?  Same idea, have the market arbitrarily decide on a floating value at a certain point in time.

Just discovered how to make sure everyone in the world gets rich!

That is actually the idea behind the interest on BitAssets thread:  https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=6964.0

The short answer for your case:  Nobody will be willing to short!

Whales might not short but people who don't have a lot of BTSX might. Overall though it's a delicate balance because it's like ying and yang.
