Yes, I understand that! However, the pizza also had a value it terms of fiat, which makes BTC indirectly associated with fiat. You can see this now, because people are constantly talking about BTC in terms of the fiat exchange rate versus talking about it in terms of goods it can purchase. They constantly look at how many FRNs or whatever it takes to buy a BTC.
I think that's because those fiat currencies were the universal media of exchange in their regions, so bitcoin was bound to acquire an exchange rate with them.
We're still early enough that bitcoin could emerge into full moneyness through a more direct connection with those currencies. Perhaps that's where this stablecoin stuff is taking us.

Perhaps I am slightly paranoid about the stablecoin BS going on! I think stablecoins are just extensions of fiat into the digital realm without any changes. Just another enslavement program for the masses and a control mechanism for the owners. I would have a tendency to stay away from them and be satisfied with dealing in BTC, ONLY. The stablecoins seem to be linked to just fiat, which is to say isht.
