Can't we just all use cryptocurrency?
You think people can trust crypto?
You don't need to trust bitcoin because one of the fundamental principles of it is trustlessnes. the only problem I see is constantly changing price of bitcoin
Sure one BTC is one BTC. But how many USD is a BTC worth? A lot of that depends on the stable coin tether and that is backed 100% by "trust me bro"
And 99% of cryptoheads are just fine with "trust me bro" they just want "number go up" the rest of it seems to be misdirection and distraction.
I thought the point they were making is not using usd as reserve currency?
