In general, as you've likely surmised, demand needs to rise over time for the project to succeed.

In the long-run, our aim is to have that demand come from economic activity -- meaning people using GLO for all the things they normally use cash or a credit card for.

In the beginning, We expect philanthropists and altruists to drive demand. If demand falls, we also have a USD reserve with which we trade with our own coin to support the value. We discuss this more in the trading section of our white paper [0].

Happy to discuss further if you have questions!
