Digix is cool. I expect to see more projects like that in the future for securing real-world assets on-chain.

Digix = "gold-backed" currency, so centralized holder of the gold! Not trustless, totally pointless.

*Why* do people think on-chain assets can sensibly be "backed" by anything off-chain?! . . . I thought we were done debunking the "backing" nonsense 2 years ago. Sigh.

I created a secret phrase that I can write down anywhere, and then that can be real gold storage! Thinking about that makes everything seem awesome!

Digix will keep going as a company, but their ecosystem wonβt have a native DAO to fund projects. The whales have voted that a DGD-ETH arbitrage is worth more than the long-term ecosystem support of a DAO to the tune of tens of millions. Experiment completed.
