FYD combines the strength of larger cap protocols to create a customized solution for FYD.
[Bitcoin](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/Bitcoin/) has a finite supply and a yearly halving which promotes scarcity, something FYD has as well. There will only ever be 650M FYDcoin.
[DASH](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/dash/) through utilizing Masternodes to secure the network and enabling instant send and governance features. The advantage of [PivX](https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pivx/): staking for smaller users is something FYD implemented.
FYD is (like Bitcoin) not owned by a single entity, the project was initially abandoned by the developer and continued by a decentralized community. Staking FYD can be a way for newcomers to get introduced to multiple aspects of cryptocurrency (finite supply, staking/minting, masternodes, halving, wallets). There is not a single FYD coin that has not been bought, or minted. FYDcoin will reach its finite supply before Bitcoin.
