I've waited for few days if someone else comes up with the question but seems like I'm the only one who cannot see logic behind it.
What do we do with those assets?! What if I have 1000 assets instead of 10 and noone wants to buy anymore?
I don't get the part with having the dividens as shares instead of regular coins.

I answered this question in parts already:
After you purchase the USDbitfnx asset you can use it for different things:
- Hold it to diversify your NXT portfolio. This works nicely, because USD and NXT is completely uncorrelated. Holding a mix of USDbitfnx and NXT will guaranteed take volatility out of your portfolioworth. (Less swings!)
- You can directly send USD to other NXT users without bothering to check the NXT price all the time
- You can just hold it and enjoy the ~1.5% interest you will get every 2 weeks (about 50-60% per year)
- Buy it and trade with it to exploit the swings and profit from the spread.
As you can see, it has many purposes and I am sure that within 2 months, we will have a lively market going for USDbitfnx, where you will be able to cashout/cashin multiple thousands of USD without moving the market!
In addition:
What happens when no one wants to buy those assets anymore? --> just redeem them and cashout BTC or NXT. The facevalue of those assets will always be 1 USD.
Dividends are in shares because it is the only thing that makes sence. Most people will buy this asset to hold it for the interest. If you get NXT as dividends you lose the compounded interest effect. Also the interest on bitfinex is also paid in USD, so it only makes sence to increase everyones shares from the balance.
Still something unclear?
