I have buy orders on the BTWTY:bitUSD market. I will gradually try to buy €3k worth of BTWTY

If the price rises 300% per year on average, and you bought at 2 x feed price, you will need to wait approximately 8 months, and you can force settle your Bit20 to receive as much BTS as you once invested.
You can also put up a sell order at the same premium you paid. I'm sure someone will pick it up. I will buy it from you if you sell it at 1.5 x price feed.




I dont think your post is funny, this is a real issue, its not about what you would buy when get it cheap, DEX this is not a used car-dealership..this supposed to be a market where one invest and risk his hard earned money, I would rather go to poloniex and buy all 20 individually  and sell for market price, before I have to sell for much less because I need money or need cash to buy e.g. Dash, what about that idea?

You definitely don't want to invest a significant amount in bit20 at this point. Nevertheless, bit20 is a well thought concept which is implemented with care, and it is ok to diversify you portfolio by investing a fraction in it. Hopefully, a lot of such small investments will spin up liquidity.

How much should I be ready to pay for Bit20 in terms of USD? What will the price be when markets are efficient and price discovery has happened? Do you expect it to continue trading above feed price?

if we dont have liquidity, I want bother to buy into, regardless the price, what good does it do, when price rise but you cant sell. get the liquidity in order and you will have a viable market, I promise
I own a few BIT20 but I do not even bother to look at it, why should I, can buy cant sell for some time to come, takes days or weeks ..there is not a market, its monopoly, just monopoly is over after a few hours, its sad, because I love the idea a lot

Bit20 - The cryptocurrency index fund [2017/03/21 - revision]



On the 21st day of every month, Bit20 runs an algorithm that creates its new composition. By this process, it always includes the most promising coins. Some coins appear in the index and others disappear. Some of them gain weight and other lose some of it. This new composition swap with the previous one without any disturbance of the index price.

Second change. After receiving some requests, we will enable the force settlement setting.
This option allows anyone with BTWTYs to force the market to buy the asset(s) they own at the price feed. The fact that this market is traded much higher than the theoric price feed make this option irrelevant because it's  easy to sell at a better price than the price feed.

Forced settlement may be usefull if someone wants to settle larger amount than currently offered on the market. Just make max forced settle volume not too small and not too large.

And by the way, if you make MCR 150%, we will have the same leverage as on poloniex, 2.5x.

Bittwenty is volatile just like BTS. We can expect wild swings when they will go in opposite direction. I feel 150 MCR is very few collateral.

Market settings changes

Hello dear traders and investors,

Bit20 has been evolving nicely since it's inception in December 2016. We are happy to observe that traders are buying and selling much higher than the "theoric" index price.

Why is that ?

Well, simply because they saw what Bit20 has performed very well in the last 18 months and deduce they can buy it even with a 50% premium, it's still a good investment with lots of potentials.

This market has been created with some very specific settings. These settings have been adjusted before the market was born.
Now that we have seen the price stabilising around 140% of the theoric asset price, we can adjust the market settings to fit better its trading environment.

2 changes:

The MSSR: When a shorter have its collateral falling below 175% of the price feed, a margin call will happen. A buy order will be automatically created in the market to buy back its undercollateralized asset(s).
This process guarantee that all smartcoins on the BitShares decentralised exchange are always well collateralised.

The MSSR is set at 110% at the moment. This would be good for gold or dollars because they are traded close to the price feed. No need then to buy back much higher.

In our Bit20 market, the asset is traded around 140% of the price feed. A buy back at 110% wouldn't be bought anytime soon. We will increase this value progressively until it reaches a value where it can be bought. It will be somewhere between 120% and 140%

What does it change for you concretely?

Really not much.

For the buyer, nothing at all.

For the shorter, you still can borrow BTWTY with the usual 175% collateral, the only difference is the price of the margin call if your collateral falls under the limit. If you are aware of what you do when you short BTWTY, that limit shouldn't be reached. If it is, the price you will be margin call will probably be around the one you sold and maybe cheaper, the spread is still wide. We won't raise this value until the point it is discouraging shorters, our goal is to incentive as many as possible!

Second change. After receiving some requests, we will enable the force settlement setting.
This option allows anyone with BTWTYs to force the market to buy the asset(s) they own at the price feed. The fact that this market is traded much higher than the theoric price feed make this option irrelevant because it's  easy to sell at a better price than the price feed. 

In order to let everyone consider this information, we will wait for 48h before operating any change.

Happy trading!

There is maybe an opportunity here.

Bittwenty just went from 2588$ to 3378$ in the last 3 weeks. If there is a correction following this fast growth, shorters could potentially make nice ROI.

Another reason is the fact that the index is trading much higher at the moment that the actual feed price !

It is actually a good time to short, since it is traded at over 100% premium from peg. You can short bit20 now, buy underlying altcoins, then wait when bit20 price drop to peg price and settle debt with profit.

It's indeed a good time to short (not an investment advice). The index is trading way above the feed price.
It has it's logic when you consider it has been growing quite steadily since its creation. With that said, I don't believe the price will drop back to the peg. I imagine it will keep trading above but probably not that much above.

The market actually needs a "whale" to short 0.2 bit20 to correct the price. Tiny amount.
