RE: In Dubai, they will release a crypto currency, secured with gold.
This feels like an attempt to embrace a new world while still being stuck in the old. The blockchains have the potential to introduce entirely new sets of economic rules based on mathematical abstractions that aren't possible in the real world. While some tethering to the physical economy is useful, a coin entirely leashed to the price of a hard commodity feels unnecessarily restrictive.
