What are stablecoins, and how do they work?

  • Stablecoins are supposed to be everything tokens like bitcoin and ether aren’t.
    Whereas bitcoin’s price fluctuates sharply, stablecoins are designed to be worth the same as something else - usually the U.S. dollar. Many stablecoins are also issued directly by companies, whereas bitcoin operates independently of any central authority.
    Recent events have shown that not all stablecoins are as stable as they’re made out to be. TerraUSD, a so-called “algorithmic” stablecoin, fell below its peg dramatically, eventually crashing to a fraction of a cent and bringing an associated coin down with it.
    The debacle has led to fresh scrutiny from regulators, who are worried stablecoins will one day get so big they could cause damage to the larger economy if they fail.
    Tether, the world’s largest stablecoin, is a $70 billion juggernaut in the crypto world. But the company, which claims each of its tokens can be redeemed for exactly one dollar, has long faced doubts about the assets that underpin it.
    Watch the video to learn more about stablecoins and why they’re so controversial.

    IMO stable coins is an integral part of the crypto space which is impossible to imagine regular trading without these days. That is why many experienced investors use fiat-backed ones like Tether which is the most popular and safest on the market rn.

    Stablecoin can best be described as unregulated digital banking. Money in the modern world is created by financial intermediation - the basic function of banks. Now if regulation is beneficial to owners of stablecoin, the operators of a stablecoin system could easily opt for it. Governments could be enlisted to provide this service as could the big auditing firms.

    It's not only about trading smh. Stablecoins work for a global cross-boundary transfer on the blockchain within seconds of settlement. Try to transfer dollars between countries. Stablecoins make it a lot easier and faster (and stable!). Banks should adopt it and replace the current slow and cumbersome system. Painting a negative picture of them is like denying the importance of the internet in 90s-2000s. Simply stupid.

    "The Summit of the Americas looks to be a debacle, a diplomatic own goal. The US has no trade proposal, no immigration policy, and no infrastructure package. Instead, the US focus is on who will and will not be there. "
    - NYT June 06, 2022
    China is seemingly everywhere investing in strategic technologies, embedding itself in 5G networks and other infrastructure, building military alliance, working political relationships and joining projects early to gain influences.
    Of the 31 countries in Latin America, 25 have partnered with China on infrastructure projects for economic development.
    The US's main problem is the administration's inability to offer economic goodies to foreign countries for them to
    align with the US. The US offered only millions while China give billions and billions. BECAUSE global economic liberalism has been so successfully discredited by Donald Trump and Joe Biden ans detested by American voters.
    China on the other hand has more leverage, because dissent is not part of the process, everyone knows what's expected.
    To quote the President of Barbados in front of the US Secretary of State at the Americas Summit: "We need to be talking WITH, not to be talking AT !"
