OK, I indeed misunderstood.
  • I think people actually care that it's somewhere out of reach of their gov, even if it's within the reach of the US gov
  • I think stablecoin adoption is much better than nothing because the gov can obstruct the value on the road from a bank account to the Bitcoin chain but once the value is on some chain the gov can't really stop it from making its way to Bitcoin. In the case of Liquid, it takes just one atomic swap from USDT to L-BTC.
