Examples of ABAs are HERO (which increases the feed price by 5% per year),<br> HERTZ (sin wave modification of the reference asset),<br> and the theoretical NEMESIS (which decreases the feed price by 5% per year). \n\nI've been thinking about the initial HERTZ asset's reference asset,<br> and whilst the [Bitsharestalk thread (https:\/\/bitsharestalk.org\/index.php\/topic,<br>24161.msg307195.html#msg307195)'s vote on this matter resulted in the FIAT asset 'USD' being the preferred reference asset,<br> I think that it may be risky for the first HERTZ asset to reference an external asset given the current inherent volatility of the cryptocurrency markets.\n\nThe pegging of the HERTZ asset to the CORE asset BTS (Bitshares) was [proposed today (https:\/\/bitsharestalk.org\/index.php\/topic,<br>24161.msg311091.html#msg311091),<br> so effectively the Hertz token would fluctuate between 0.5 and 1.5 BTS throughout the month (Instead of $0.50 to $1.50 in Bitshares).\n\n### Why use BTS as HERTZ's reference asset?\n\n* Less risk of force settlement due to BTS (or reference asset) price volatility.\n* Decoupling of BTS from external assets.\n* Less likelihood of global settlement events taking place due to reduced forced settlement risk.\n* Predictable price volatility,<br> enabling risk-free borrowing given sufficient collateral.\n* No external asset feeds required,<br> simply modifier*BTS.\n\nI suppose it'd be the same as using bitUSD as collateral to borrow bitUSD into existence,<br> except using the core BTS asset.\n\nWhat do you think? Switch to BTS as the reference asset for improved stability of the core HERTZ asset?\n\nAny questions?
