Hi Everyone,
     First portion of your First BIP is excellent- with this field the =
protocol can actually attain HFT- by  pinning of value at time of trade =
for later unblock scaling as a mark to market tool which is used in HFT.

The Second BIP of a minimum price would never allow Bitcoin to pass the =
SEC test of a viable asset. - I hope that portion was actually a Joke =
since it makes no sense economically.=20
If one has ever seen a stock drop 90% in one day then you would =
understand the volatile nature of future valuation.

Prices have to be able to go higher and lower based on market demand and =
not tethering to perceived norms. If the US dollar was crashed and it =
went down to Venezuelan currency levels [hypothetically then where would =
your 50k limit lead the currency} Never say never-=20

Best Regards
XX
