Without reading the whitepaper (so I don't know the rules of the currency), if they are able to issue/withdraw coins as they wish, I doubt it will become a trusted coin. So people won't be willing to pay too much for it, nor will they want to build apps with it as a base currency....at least I won't

The currency is based on Ethereum, so it's doubtful they'd be able to modify the supply of coins at will.
You can program any token you want on top of Ethereum. In this case they did indeed program a token with a money-printing machine that they control.
