At the moment, USDC is the only stable coin I’m comfortable holding. Are there are any other stable coins that are like backed by hard assets?
What’s the reason of holding USDC, isn’t that same as holding cash in bank?
There’s also pro and anti arguments for being in control of your assets.

It's not just any white hat hacker, it's saurik who was behind the original jailbreaking tools for iOS and the creator of Cydia, the unofficial app store back then. He is also now the "CTO" (if the term applies) of a well-known blockchain-based VPN, Orchid. Edit: He has a great write-up about the vulnerability and its discovery on his blog: https://www.saurik.com/optimism.html (which was on HN a couple days ago)
CXO titles in organizations do not exist without a board of directors. Businesses otherwise simply have members, managers, employees, contractors or vendors, or volunteers. You can pretend you're a CEO/CTO, but if you answer to no board, you're not.

Orchid is a Delaware C corp with SEC filings for its offering. Do you think it lacks a board of directors?
I'm responding to whether the term applies.

I strongly disagree with that. You really can't claim to speak for everybody.
If you don’t play ball in certain parts of the world, you end up in a river. The price tag is just different. Yours would likely be family or close relatives. I think you’d take money to do something untoward if that was the alternative. Almost everybody would. And there’s nothing wrong with admitting that.
OP branched here: "it's not as if the choices were 'commit crime / get bounty'."
Any example relevant to OP's branch cannot end with the subject in a river. The very fact that you are discussing it proves we've jumped to the other branch of the conditional-- the one where the choice is exclusively between `commit crime / get bounty` (by threat of death in your example)

But you could drain out all the ETH in the Optimism reserve by asking to withdraw, since you've fooled the network into thinking you own an arbitrary amount of OETH? Which would keep working until the main L1 Eth network rejects transactions for transferring ETH it doesn't have?
Or until someone notices... All the balances and stuff are public on the blockchain. It only takes one person to write a script to verify that the locked up amount matches the number of tokens out there. and when it doesn't, alert. That then means any attacker will have to be very quick with their theft, and if so, there is still a good chance whatever coins they get will end up blacklisted or the transactions revers…

Gambling is not a human right, no one deserves to be able to waste resources they have no matter how much they may or may not enjoy it.
Time to trot out my favourite paraphrase of Babbbage: I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a statement. Suppose another ape and I are out enjoying the State of Nature, and we both should have a round troy ounce of silver in our pockets, with heads and tails as an agreed convention. Suppose I were to say to the other ape, "on whose face does Fortune shine her rays?"…
All I've said is that you, nor I, should be responsible for making this behavior possible - you seem to have misinterpreted my intent completely if you think the absence of a right is the same as a mandate against someones ability to participate freely as they wish with other consenting adults.

What? So startups should not be allowed? 90% of them fail after all. The odds of a startup being successful is literally gambling.
Are you being sarcastic? I said it is not a human right - no one should guarantee anyone the ability to start a business as it isn't societies responsibility to pay the cost of some individuals risk tolerance. I'm saying the opposite of what you seem to be implying. I'm saying anyone can gamble or start a business, but it's no ones responsibility to make sure they have the option to do so.
