Needing some feedback on a business idea that was floated by me:
>rich friend wants to setup a parallel ecosystem of vetted & based members
>rich friend knows a gold miner
>wants to create a crypto pegged to value of GLD

>members are people that offer products & services
>welders, hunters with meat, cybersec services, electricians, etc.
>”vendors” can choose to be paid in BasedCoin or split btw fiat
>hodlers of BasedCoin can cash out in gold at anytime but their out
