TARO is a tool just like hammer. You can use a hammer to build a house or kill someone with it. Today people using lightning network to transact but want the value to be stable use Tether or USDC which is bad . Why not use that inside lightning network? I honestly think if we as a community do a good job in educating newbies, calling out scammers and do some self regulation then I think we can reap benefits out of it. This article explains it better: https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/decentralized-bitcoin-backed-credit
The article reminded me of historical descriptions of how gold deposit receipts were traded rather than the gold itself. This not so gradually evolved into fractional reserve banking, and the gold backing eventually disappeared, creating our fiat world. Why won't this happen again?
