Yes, that is true, it was DESIGNED to perform wealth preservation function. This was the main focus of the dev team, it was never meant to be used by retailers and there was no attempt to develop the coin in that sense. The main focus was to provide stability, price growth and to eliminate the possibility of pumps and dumps which have been the main threat for alt coins. I will not go into details how this was accomplished, it s partially related to inflation control but this is something the dev team s not willing to reveal.
I really have no reason to spread lies here, all I ve stated about my experience with this coin s true, whether you believe me or not, that s your problem. What can I really accomplish from telling lies here, there s no referral link here, no way for me to profit from you obtaining or not obtaining this coin. In other words, I don't care.
How can I backup it ll stay this way???? Well, I have been in crypto for a long, long time and have tried everything, from CPU mining, GPU mining, staking, trading, cloud, investing into crypto startups etc. However, even after all this experience, I cannot claim it ll stay this way. If I could, I would be selling my house ATM and buying DMD instead of posting here. :)) However, what I can say is that this coins has never disappointed me so far. People do not sell it, the community s nice, volumes are slowly going up, coin rollout guarantees even more scarcity in the future, the dev team s the most honest group of people I know, there are a few more interesting traits you need to learn by yourself and I ll do my best to get as many DMDs as possible.
This is my opinion, you still need to your own due diligence and again, pls feel free to share anything similar you might ve come across.
Ok, I would like to see the details on this from the dev team before I would want to invest in this. Transparency is a big key factor in projects for this space, that tends to be a very important component. I will say that if a company is looking to build something and make money, I understand not wanting to open source your platform, as you might not make any money. But the currency itself I feel needs to be 100% transparent.
Thanks :D

I'm struggling to understand how something can have price growth AND stability? The two qualities would seem to be mutually exclusive. Price growth suggests it feels market forces (supply and demand, scarcity etc), but stability implies the opposite. If the coin feels market forces, what mechanism is in place to limit it feeling them in both directions?
As for due dilligence, that's only possible if there are details available to be analysed. As long as the mechanisms employed aren't published, there is nothing to actually perform due dilligence on, so any "investment" decision is based on at best incomplete and at worst flawed information.
Finally, looking at you comments above, if nobody is selling the coin, how do you intend to realise any gains you might make? You can have the highest staking returns under the Sun, but unless you can realise them, what's the point? That sort of behaviour would set alarm bells ringing for me to be honest.
Instead of giving you a detailed answer, let me just show you a bit of price statistics.

really no more explanation is required, let me just show you these facts
DMD/USD 0.0685 -> 0.2731 or +398%
DMD/BTC 0.00014 -> 0.00108 or +771%
Add to this 50% PoS interest rate per year.
Again, I couldnt care less if you get into DMD or not, I did and I really love. People who can recognize the opportunity might join, those who do not feel like it, fine, no problem.
About inflation control mechanisms, they are all explained via the home page https://bit.diamonds/
Also, you can ask question over DMD Diamond BTT forum, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=580725.new;topicseen#new
DMD Diamond community s very transparent, nothing is hidden. Yes, they are still a few honest dev teams around, no pumps, no dumps, no premine.
Cheers
