the collateral is held by the network, if the person who did the shorting doesn't buy some from an exchange (centralized or not) and close their position, it gets destroyed when the margin gets reached. the person who went long bitUSD can do anything they want with it.
I see where I got confused. I thought it required collateral on both ends. Wow this is going to make it a quite a wild ride then, as there will be plenty of market inefficiencies in a constant battle between speculators, and those who need to convert one way or the other.
Grab the popcorn, it will be quite the show to watch while the beast evolves.
Yeap. This is one of the unaddressed issues, AFAKT.
System is supposed to work on pure market forces....well almost...
My concern is the possibility of a too strong of a bitUSD demand...
…we will see… BM usually reaches the right decisions eventually.
Suggestions to him work but your handle has to be A86, so…
I am sure he will address the issue (probably in a 10x better way than I can suggest),
but just and only when he himself feel the need to do so.
