@MustStopMurad Welcome mate. I saw you on @TFTC21 Podcast, you were Great. I'm glad you guys talked about Stablecoins for a little bit at the end, it was good to hear your Ideas.
If BTC goes to $30T+ (in 2018 usd terms), then it will probably continue going even higher, and as such, stablecoins are unneccessary. Bitcoin will be even more attractive to hold wealth in than stablecoins, as its purchasing power is likely to steadily grow at equilibrium.

This being said, functional stablecoins may be successful as a ‘transitionary’ tool, largely as a 2nd and 3rd world SoV/MoE and as a currency for dApps / “blockchain economy”, etc.
-
Yes if BTC gets to $30T then the next logical thought is: "Why not $50T? $100T" (Lindy Effect) And yes I think citizens of High-Inflation countries will use Stablecoins as SoV/MoE.I hope they don't (bc I believe the peg will eventually break), but I believe they will.

Agreed. Stablecoins may be useful pre-hyperbitcoinization or if for some reason hyperbitcoinization doesn’t happen. But I think we are likely to see a re-emergence of a disinflationary monetary standard, with Bitcoin currently being the most likely contender.
-
I agree with Stablecoins possibly being a holdover for hyperbitcoinization. And I have written 1 thing on how an inflationary monetary standard can be built on top of BTC (with BTC being the backing-agent). Would you like me to send you the link?
-
I have read every single article written by you. I don’t think that, absent violence, people would want to “store wealth” in the inflationary coin built atop BTC, but rather prefer to hold BTC itself. Thus, the inflationary one would be small at best.
-
I imagine someone saying that exact thing in 1933 when we went off the Gold Standard. Threat of violence was in effect then (turn in your gold). I am assuming threat of violence will be in effect when the L2 inflating-coin is backed by the BTC in the Central Bank's cold wallet
-
I am assuming threat of violence will be present because: As long as militaries are present on Earth, the threat of violence will always be credible & will be used as leverage to get people to do what a nation-state wants.
-
Bitcoin’s decentralized nature subverts and routes around violence in a very elegant manner. They can slow it down, sure, but slowing it entirely is close to impossible. To date, they can’t stop Bittorrent. And cypherpunks will work 100x harder to make Bitcoin a success.
