So if stablecoins go mainstream and they become UoA and MoE then anyone can spin up a code and create an exchange for swapping between BTC and stables etc, so currently to off ramp into dollars euros etc you need to go thru a regulated exchange, is this why the government is really delaying the adoption of stablecoins because they know the banking sector could lose control of the money?

I'm not into stablecoins but the sentiment amongst normies is that stables will be adopted first

If you earn, buy groceries and pay rent in stables, you would never need a regulated exchange or a bank again

You can swap in and out of BTC on a DEX, which is just code and the government loses its choke point

If everyone is using DEXs there is no middleman to report to the state IRS etc

The choke pointThe choke point

Currently you need to turn Bitcoin into fiat to buy a house or food and the state waits at the exit door (Canadian truckers)

The threat to fractional reserve bankingThe threat to fractional reserve banking

Generally stablecoin companies hold full reserves, if everyone starts pulling their paper fiat out of legacy banks and using a stablecoin company, the banks lose their deposit base and can't lend out and this is what they're afraid of imo

Loss of monetary policy controlLoss of monetary policy control

If the fed doesn’t have vision of the money, how would they set interest rates, how would that affect inflation

The banker's checkmateThe banker's checkmate

The banks/state will want to capture the stablecoin companies, seeing as they're all centralised this is easy for the state

Or they may force shops and businesses to only accept kyc'd wallets

Actually on this, if governments forced retailers to only accept kyc'd wallets, I wonder if some shops would accept non kyc stables under the counter, thereby creating the same system we have today, with credit cards and cash, a black and white economy but totally digital

Obviously this is a destination on the road map, I think stables with come first and Bitcoin will always be the elephant in the room that people dont get until they are forced to

I feel like optimism is going to tell me I've just described Hyperbitcoinization with a shitcoin wrapper 🤣🤣
