If BTC is trading higher than $1, everybody would buy the undervalued BTC for $1 and sell at the market rate. If BTC is trading lower than $1, everybody would buy BTC at market rate and sell the overvalued BTC for $1.

Both cases lead to significant losses for whoever is trying to peg BTC to some arbitrary constant value.
