    >they can now hold a USD pegged asset non custodially Nope, this is wrong. Any stablecoin is necessarily centralized in order to maintain the peg, in the case of DAI it has a "cust…

    >I think you misunderstand DAI. Saying the point of DAI is to accumulate crypto is like saying the point of a car is to accumulate oil. No, I understand it perfectly. The only purp…

    No, gold actually has a real demand derived from legitimate commercial uses. If it didn't, and the only reason you were buying it was to try and dump it off on other investors for …

    If you figured out all those variables, they would have to be legally enforced by a legal authority -- meaning there wouldn't be a purpose to use an NFT as a "blockchain authority"…

    Yes, that's my point. Crypto doesn't change anything. It's just more of the same. And FYI there is nothing wrong with fractional reserve banking when it's done in the right way wit…
