The concept is pretty interesting if there were real assets behind the coin. Problem is you would need a good counterparty… which means you need a good custodian… which means you might as well just use the counterparty and custodian.

The only real benefit of the coin in this case would be programming derivatives without further intermediate custodians and counter parties. This could be useful for some back office finance activities outside of scams.
