Some stablecoins don't have a sovereign monetary policy, so the impossible trinity isn't broken.
If Indexes are so good, why do we use USD to underwrite everything today?

-
Because we come from a post WWII-Bretton Woods system where USD has been given a privileged place in the world economy. If we used a constant value index as UoA, things would be much simpler. (no need to account for inflation, exchange rates...)

Can you loosely explain how you would go about constructing such an Index in a trust-minimized, censorship-resistant manner that is satisfying to most people? Also it remains to be seen if BTC volatility will be stable enough to do commerce / business / contract underwriting

Let's say we use your Index. In supermarkets, you go in, it says Bread Price: 3 Indexes One day this might mean 0.00023 BTC another day this might mean 0.00029 BTC This isn't good cognitive UX for people There is a place for Stablecoins in the world. TAM is big, even.

Thats my approach, I understand your reticence but in the new crypto world where someone may store value in any coin, same will happen even if you price it in USD... One day will be 0.021 LTC other will be 0.023... And with an index, at least you know that value is constant
-
My point is: if you can store value, its difficult to keep that value stable, cause too many factors are interacting, not even controlling supply is possible, hence the solution is an index, it serves as UoA but its not a traded asset

How will you do debt contracts or employment contracts? You can’t do these *before* hyperbitcoinization

Denominated in an index and settled in the coin of your choice...

Trying to convince the world to denominate massive agreements in indexes based on newly emergent prediction markets will be quite he uphill battle :)
