Title: Are BRC-20 stablecoins the next big thing?
Post by: Abiky on May 31, 2023, 04:35:10 PM
There's a new stablecoin "in town" that goes by the name of Stably. It's a BRC-20 token issued on the main Bitcoin blockchain. I believe it's the first kind of stablecoin to be ever released on BTC. I'm not sure if it'll be backed by Bitcoin itself, but at least, Bitcoiners can now use stablecoins without having to move to another chain. The downside of this is that it will increase on-chain fees by a large margin. It's an Ordinals inscription after all. Would you imagine USDT, USDC, and other stablecoins launching their BRC-20 version on the BTC blockchain? It would be a complete disaster! The idea is cool, but it's best to move everything else to a separate chain or off-chain scaling solution to keep BTC fast and cheap for everyone to use.

What are your thoughts? Are BRC-20 stablecoins the next big thing? If not, why? Do you think BTC will be able to survive a flood of BRC-20 stablecoin transactions in the long run? What do you think about Stably? Will it have a future? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)

Bruh, it is very possible that stable oins on the brc20 chain will be more popular simply because they are in a trusted blockchain. But right now, brc20 is taking the crypto community by storm.
I think the early supporters of these brc20 projects will be rewarded immensely just as btc in its early stage. Although am just getting to know about the stable coins from this thread but am already familiar with some of the btc ordinal projects. I even got myself a .sats domain name just incase  ;D who knows how big the brc20 will blow.  8)

The thing is that when bitcoin's developers started to close that loophole, then maybe BRC-20 will be on the side then as everyone is being affected by it negatively so I wouldn't be surprised of a patch before the end of the year.

BRC-20 might be the next narrative on upcoming future to come or something would really be in trend but im not really that so sure if it would really be that significant but we are already seeing
gradually that there are projects which are on BRC-20 and speaking about their prices and value which is really that increasing on the time that i had checked out which means that
investors are starting up to consider out this space and i wont really be that shocked nor really that having that reaction if this would be the big thing.
The issue on here is about on flooding out the network which is something that pushes up and resurface again about the scalability issue of Bitcoin
which it would indeed in fact affecting that fee price which its never been that ideal if its really on the roof.

I see that people are hyping very strongly about BRC-20. I don't know if this is the next short-term trend in the market, but it is having a big impact on bitcoin. Since the launch of BRC-20, the volume of transactions has increased, causing transactions to be congested and leading to an increase in fees. Although there are many people who are looking forward to the next innovation of these blockchain projects because the airdrop opportunity is huge, I do not like this one bit because if there is a follow-up hype related to this blockchain, there will be a bitcoin-related vulnerability again.
Many have really decided that the blog token will become a new trend in the crypt. I also adhere that BRC-20 will only be a short story. So far, there are no special coins on the ear. But for some reason, many are promoting this topic. Perhaps it is worth having a closer look. Although, BRC-20 does not cause much enthusiasm.

I can't see many good outcomes for this. I mean it's nice that bitcoin gets developed but this seems like a sure way to get the chain clogged. Also, how long does it take that bitcoin gets own version of shiba-inu or pepe, or any meme token really and then crap would really hit the fan. Maybe i don't understand the tech well enough but i don't believe that bitcoin was build to handle this. Someone can correct me because i want to believe that this is good for bitcoin.

possibly, there has been some massive profits from just minting and investing in some of the BRC-20 token released which means there are some that eager to invests in these coins.
I think it could be the next big thing but we also know that trend is always changing.

It's pretty much the same like ERC token. The hype was real but this will not be happening for long term as the price will be going down again for sure. I saw that if there was no serious project being created through BRC20. All of those projects that used by BRC20 were mostly shit scam project with no vision. it's pretty much the same like meme token.

Im honestly rather pessimistic when it comes to the means of extending function of bitcoin with all these "add ons" there has been quite many side chain for bitcoin where it got the capability of deploying smart contract and even ERC20 tokens and many of them flops.

even though this is kind of different but im curious to see where it gonna get, since im still rather doubtful with these attempt of taking advantage of a "loop hole" which many has stated as such.
but then again it seemed even the brc-20 is having quite the traffic right there, moreover the fact that lately some people have been turning their minimal money required for getting some of the coin into massive thousand dollars return.
lets just see how things goes with this brc-20, if it could be having so much traffic that it could compete even with some of the ethereum layer 2 may be it will be the next big thing.

[...]I'm not sure if it'll be backed by Bitcoin itself,
It's dollar-backed.

It's looking like this company called Stably is just trying to ride the hype of brc-20 tokens. They already issued an erc-20 stable coin called USDS but it's basically dead so I can see why they want to jump first.

I think they don't really care what happens to the Bitcoin network but it's quite funny that they make claims like this,

I agree. It will cause heavy traffic in the Bitcoin chain so I don't think it will be the next big thing. What can happen is almost like the ERC20 of Ethereum where every transaction is expensive and we don't like that. IMO, Bitcoin is made for cheap, fast, and secure transactions and not for this type of project.
Maybe for some, it will be the next big thing and they will try to hype it, but let us also look at the long run. Putting the project in another chain will be the best solution but swelling the transaction numbers in the Bitcoin chain would not do any better. It will just scare away investors and probably end up with less demand and usage which may cause the value to depreciate. I am against it.

I don't think they're a good thing. It's just there to clog the network while we've been enjoying small fees for our transactions.

It's different from what ERC20 made to Ethereum that has bumped its price while for Bitcoin, it doesn't really add anything on it. If it's these with blockchains and creations of NFTs and other tokens, then let it happen all to the other major blockchains and projects like ERC20, BSC and etc.

They're just hyping these BRC20 and even with stable coins, it's not that ideal for these transactions to have a $2 transfer fee for the quickest possible transfer.

For me, initially, I don't really find that the Bitcoin network is capable of any BRC-20 tokens even stablecoins because that's not how Bitcoin is built, we already have Ethereum for it.

But if we will just assume about BRC-20 stablecoins, I can say it's the same with other stablecoins which are on another network, as long as they are transparent that it is pegged by real fiat currency 1:1, all good. Or existing stablecoins that already exists on other network could extend to BRC-20 which is much better.

The first stablecoin USDT was actually on the Bitcoin blockchain. It used the Omni network. And the reason why everyone stopped using it was because it just took way too long to wait for a confirmation. And the network fees were slightly larger than a regular Bitcoin transaction.

So this is nothing new and this new coin won’t become popular at all due to this. It takes way too long to confirm on the Bitcoin network and hence why nobody will use stablecoins on Bitcoin network.

Are BRC-20 stablecoins the next big thing?
Stable coins on Bitcoin blockchain are good in security because Bitcoin blockchain is a biggest and most secure blockchain. With other blockchains, more risks of network attacks, hacks but with Bitcoin blockchain, it's so challenging to attack the network.

For stability and peg of those stable coins, it depends on those stablecoin companies and their management for their company treasure to back those stablecoins. If their treasure is healthy, their stablecoins will be good but it does not relate to Bitcoin blockchain.

If not, why? Do you think BTC will be able to survive a flood of BRC-20 stablecoin transactions in the long run?
It will face with bigger demand in 2024 and 2025 years with big bull run. It will face network congestion like a comeback of DeFi, NFT on Ethereum blockchain after months of cool down from CryptoKitties in 2017 ICO.

What do you think about Stably?
They provide on-ramp, off-ramp transactions but they are not the first company has those products. I don't know about their management, treasure to back their BRC-20 stablecoin and I can not say about risk to use their service and stablecoin.

LUNA and UST lesson is here.

It's just a stablecoin, nothing else, why it can be the next big thing when the holders wouldn't make any profit.

The most important criteria for stablecoin is the volume is really high, have many trading pairs, and trusted enough. BRC-20 network is still on development phase and there's might a vulnerability which haven't discovered yet. I'd say it's impossible it will be the next thing.

However did it's possible? what I know there's a fixed supply, stablecoin must not have a fixed supply because the coin need to be added or burned to make the price stick with $1.

Recently people mentioned it more, although it can be seen that the fee is very expensive, it is still receiving great attention. I'm not sure how strong and durable it will be, but actually completely agree that this could be the next trend if more people care about it. Really my experience with it has not been very impressive, but for the purpose of making profits and new opportunities I will still accept to participate, however it may just be some exaggeration of the potential as many Another hype in the crypto space.

In cryptocurrency, there's no guarantee of anything to receive as an outcome, we take time to invest base on the level of how convinced we are about anything, what if we all agreed that BRC 20 is a good and legitimate coin to go for and later you had a worst experience about it, how do you expect us to feel while relating with you, aren't you not going to tagged us as a promoter of shitcoins? which means we have our individual rights to research well before investing or trusting any currency for an investment, we are not the developers, what we say here may be really far away from the truth.

I heard about this, This can help users to use stablecoins without having to switch to another chain, creating convenience and reducing costs. However, the emergence of stablecoins on the Bitcoin blockchain could cause congestion and increase transaction fees on the blockchain. Using the Bitcoin blockchain to keep stablecoin values ​​stable can also present technical and security challenges. If other stablecoins launch their version of BRC-20 on the Bitcoin blockchain, this could cause congestion and increase transaction fees on the blockchain. So other off-chain scaling solutions or separate off-chain might be a better option to keep Bitcoins fast and cheaper. But these are just personal opinions and technical and economic factors should be considered in order to make a final decision.

Not so sure if brc20 tokens, nft or stablecoins are gonna stay fluid and hyped in the next coming of months. Fees are very huge and this isnt for commoners or usually play with smaller fees like the other networks. Thats the thing people tend to not give any prioritize. Plus bitcoin maxi wanted them out. Its seems like its a play for middle ground and whales only. I myself pass on this universe, not really cant afford to play around juat like bsc and eth plays.

If the community is ok with Ordinals inscriptions, it's very unlikely they will side with developers to apply the patch on the network. This could trigger another hard fork as we speak. Time will tell us the fate of Bitcoin as its popularity continues to grow worldwide. As much as I'm against censorship (blocking Ordinals even though BTC is open source and decentralized), I'm certainly not a fan of high fees. Things will get worse with new stablecoins issued on the Bitcoin blockchain using the BRC-20 standard.

Instead of blocking Ordinals, why don't developers work on increasing on-chain TX capacity? It would help decrease network fees, while letting Ordinals flow as usual. So far, there's one only BRC-20 stablecoin issued on the Blockchain. Let's see how the experiment will turn out to be in the long run. Either this will "kill" Bitcoin or it will make it stronger than ever. We already have blockchains with smart contract features (eg: ETH), so why should we use BTC for things other than finance? Just my thoughts ;D

This will become a concern for many Bitcoin investors in terms of massive traffic and increased transaction fees on the Bitcoin blockchain. After all, maintaining low transaction fees and fast confirmation times is one of the most attractive aspects of Bitcoin for many users. While some projects may find value in issuing BRC-20 tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain, we must weigh the potential benefits and downsides to make an informed decision on which direction to go with the ecosystem.

I am not entirely sure if we even need it. I mean what would happen if it is BRC-20 instead of bep20 or erc20? It will not really have any change, it will not mean anything at all. If it is 1$=1$ like every other stablecoin then it will not need to be there, it can be anywhere else. I keep suggesting we need to get away from ordinals instead of going into it and yet people do not listen to me, it is going to hurt bitcoin in the end if we keep doing this.

These ordinal stuff that ruins transaction costs could be the number one reason why bitcoin ends up dropping from the top of the list. I am not saying it will, probably it won't, but we are aware that it is putting itself at risk at least and that's going to be the type of thing we do not need right now.

I don't get what's all the fuzz about BRC-20 tokens, when ETH and its variants have the same thing. Why not move everything to a separate chain or the LN instead? It would make the BTC blockchain less bloated, resulting in lower fees and faster TX confirmations. Imagine if stablecoins on the BTC blockchain become extremely popular. It would be a complete mess!

I'm yet to see whenever Stably (the new BRC-20 stablecoin) will become a success or a failure, especially when the company is not as well established as USDC's Circle or USDT's Bitfinex. All of the attention is on BRC-20 NFTs, so don't expect adoption for Stably to grow anytime soon. If things go wrong, then we'll have no choice but to move towards an alternative chain such as Litecoin or Bitcoin Cash. No matter how you see it, you can't deny miners are the ones that are ultimately winning with the high TX fees. Just my thoughts ;D

that much is true, we've all known how even a blockchain that was specifically created for the smart contract and to contain its transaction couldn't even help but have really poor scalability after a long time.
this brc-20 will definitely increase the cost of transaction same like in ethereum and I think it will be really detrimental in the long run, at least with ethereum its got so many options and sidechains released since their EVM is really good to be forked or even to make an innovation that acts as a second layer solution but with this BRC-20 technology i'm not really sure about that.
maybe this emergence of brc-20 instead will make bitcoin having really bad scalability, since we all know everything involving with smart contracts require massive transaction for the sake of interacting with the smart contract. though i still don't really understand that much the underlying technology behind these ordinals and BRC-20.

Maybe but theres probably other factor that bitcoin is dropping. The network seems to be okay compared to before, plus the market could move depends on those big orders movement from whales. Id rather worried if an account with thousand bitcoin will dump on market than ordinals. They are the one could really make the price down.

I don't think it's possible that whales will throw away large amounts of bitcoin just because of ordinal problems,
even though BRC-20 disrupted the Bitcoin network but so far Bitcoin seems to be holding above $ 25k, so stay calm there are no problems for BRC-20 and Bitcoin,
and Regarding stable coins on BRC-20, in my opinion, it will not be phenomenal because the BRC-20 network is still experimental, different from the BSC, ETH or TRON networks.

I think BRC-20 stablecoins is another the next big hype thing, like metaverse, nft and so on, that the crypto community will quickly forget about after playing enough of it. The very concept of a stablecoin doesn't fit very well with the ideas of bitcoin: it's like trying to combine hot with cold. I believe that bitcoin should remain as it was created (of course, acceptable improvements are acceptable) and there is no need to clutter up the network with unnecessary garbage.

This is going to hurt the market more than people realize today. We can't stop it that's true and we need to move to some other chain as quickly as possible otherwise we are going to be screwed, there is no way around it. We are at a stage where it is doing terrible right now and this fee structure needs to change.

People are aiming at making more money and they are not realizing that while trying to make more money today because others are doing it and why would you stop if they don't mindset still going on, that will result with them not making more money in the future and just be happy with what you got short term and then never recover. Bitcoin could be permanently damaged because of this if we are not careful and that's very crucial and dangerous.

BRC-20 is a completely inefficient standard. Stably, as a stablecoin issuer that I had barely heard of, decided to build on top of a shaky foundation that surely does not cope with any scalability and efficiency progress.

There is two reasoning I suppose. First, they simply do it because BRC-20 is currently the thing, so they joining the hyper for their own branding. Two, they are incompetent issuers that were not able to forecast technical requirements and market growth potency. Either way, this is surely a worthless and useless attempt.

What are your thoughts? Are BRC-20 stablecoins the next big thing? If not, why? Do you think BTC will be able to survive a flood of BRC-20 stablecoin transactions in the long run? What do you think about Stably? Will it have a future? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)
For now some users will totally take that hype but if it dies, it will just be abandoned little by little. I think stablecoins that exist today on other chains are on their right seats already and moving it on the Bitcoin Blockchain is just a careless idea. I think Bitcoin will survive but this hype will not, stably is just a hype and no future in my opinion.

BRC-20 is a completely inefficient standard. Stably, as a stablecoin issuer that I had barely heard of, decided to build on top of a shaky foundation that surely does not cope with any scalability and efficiency progress.

There is two reasoning I suppose. First, they simply do it because BRC-20 is currently the thing, so they joining the hyper for their own branding. Two, they are incompetent issuers that were not able to forecast technical requirements and market growth potency. Either way, this is surely a worthless and useless attempt. That makes, one should be wary if they decided to use anything that is issued/created by this kind of company.

This will fail quickly if developers succeed in their efforts to block Ordinals inscriptions for good. The idea is great, but BTC's limited transaction capacity would not be enough to help spread adoption of on-chain stablecoins at a large scale. For that, we have alternative blockchain networks such as Ethereum, BSC, and Polygon. Or the Lightning Network if we still want to use BTC without affecting the main chain.

The company issuing the stablecoin (Stably) is not as widely known as Tether or USDC's Circle. So don't expect it to gain traction anytime soon. Ultimately, the market will decide the best path forward for Bitcoin. As long as decentralization prevails, nothing else matters. Just my thoughts ;D

I honestly don't think the idea is good at all. As an issuer, they should have known better to research the feasibility of a project. So factoring in this stablecoin issuer is not prominent and the questionable nature of making the token as BRC-20, I rather think it is likely they do it for simply pure hype.

As you said, I also do not expect they will gain traction, within the cryptocurrency market as a whole. What such bad publicity they make, I can't think of any better.

I don't know to what extent this is just a passing or lasting hype, and no one can really know.

But, several factors are worrying me about it:

-the mempool will become saturated over and over again, I don't know if this is really good for the use and reputation (adoption) of the BTC blockchain
-if stablecoins or other BRC-20 coins fail, won't this discredit the BTC network and give people false cause for concern? Wouldn't this damage the reputation and trust of the BTC network, even though it is in no way responsible for these projects?

In any case, I'm going to follow this with interest, as it's something new and will no doubt cause a lot of noise in the near future.

I just hope it doesn't give a spotlight to the BTC network and a new reason for regulators to go after it again and again...

This will become a concern for many Bitcoin investors in terms of massive traffic and increased transaction fees on the Bitcoin blockchain. After all, maintaining low transaction fees and fast confirmation times is one of the most attractive aspects of Bitcoin for many users. While some projects may find value in issuing BRC-20 tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain, we must weigh the potential benefits and downsides to make an informed decision on which direction to go with the ecosystem.
Prospects are visible not only in the low cost of payment for transactions and confirmation time. The main thing that Bitcoin is more reliability. I do not remember the hacking of the bitcoin network in recent years, which cannot be said about other blockchains. Therefore, the launch of tokens on the BRC-20 is welcomed by many cryptophanes.

currently it seems that everytime there's minting of BRC-20 it's always gone within a minutes, I guess it's now the hot thing right now.
moreover every minting gives good returns just in few hours, this shows the demand that this BRC-20 has honestly.

Seeing how minting competition in BRC was going on is pretty much the same like seeing how people were massively joining in the meme coin trend. BRC is prety much the same like meme coin trend and it's only disrupting the bitcoin.

its currently on its peak fame i think, some coin become expensive without proper reasoning, but mostly just hypes that revolves around the coin.
just because it's BRC-20 many are minting it and the price also climbs up like there's no tomorrow but we still don't know whether this could be long lasting ones.

the thing with BRC-20 is that right now it seemed to be popular but doesn't seem that it gonna replace ERC-20 anytime soon.
the experiences as I have seen from this new protocol beforehand just doesn't seem to be refined experiences honestly.
moreover, the platform was still largely premature, but the thing that i think should be of concern is the fact that it's gonna be increasing the traffic that bitcoin blockchain currently has.
it will affect the fee in the long term even now it is already affected so i'm, doubtful that this gonna be the next big thing.

You're right about that. BRC-20 tokens are nothing but pure cash grabs. They don't provide any real use cases to the world. With Bitcoin Core developers planning to block Ordinals inscriptions, you can say goodbye to the BRC-20 craze soon. I think Stably should focus on other chains with built-in smart contract features. But with competitors such as USDT and USDC, I highly doubt it will survive in the long run.

With BRC-20 tokens out of the way, Bitcoin users can finally enjoy low fees and decent confirmation times. That is if the community agrees to take down Ordinals for good. Miners are too greedy to let this all go to waste, so time will tell us what path BTC will take. As long as decentralization wins, we should have nothing to worry about. Just my thoughts ;D

Not so sure if brc20 tokens, nft or stablecoins are gonna stay fluid and hyped in the next coming of months. Fees are very huge and this isnt for commoners or usually play with smaller fees like the other networks. Thats the thing people tend to not give any prioritize. Plus bitcoin maxi wanted them out. Its seems like its a play for middle ground and whales only. I myself pass on this universe, not really cant afford to play around juat like bsc and eth plays.
if only individuals are prioritized in terms of capable people or what priority people the ecosystem is developing rapidly. On average, what often happens is the support of large community members who can still afford the transaction costs. This has become the target of investors and is rapidly growing. rich people are always free and very hard to follow for people like me

Let those speculators are playing with BRC token until it will be blocked. These BRC20 tokens are only spamming the bitcoin network. The taproot upgrade has been triggering so many spam come to the bitcoin network.

I really support the decision to block BRC. Bitcoin is bitcoin and nothing else.

Miners would certainly fork the chain if developers decide to reject Ordinals inscriptions "with a simple bugfix". The original Bitcoin (BTC) Blockchain can carry out as usual without Ordinals, while the new chain takes all of those BRC-20 tokens with it. But that would be a risky move, especially if the majority of miners split the chain into two different cryotocurrencies. We'll be heading for another Bitcoin Cash/Bitcoin SV drama.

Whenever BRC-20 stablecoins will survive or die in the long run, it's yet to be seen. So far, only Stably has taken the lead in being the first issuer to create a stablecoin on the BTC blockchain. If USDC, USDT, and other major stablecoins join the game, we won't be able to experience low TX fees ever again. No one can predict the future, so let's hope for the best. Just my opinion :)

i wonder if this coin actually gonna be that good after all it just doesn't seem like it's refined protocol there are many that just doesn't sit right compared with how erc20 works honestly.

Seems like fast fortune is all the rage, right? Yet, dont overlook, not every BRC-20 token is a greed symbol. Seek and you might find gems

Skepticism towards Stably, I get it. But isnt it hasty to dismiss it while USDT and USDC rule the roost? Don't we champion the dark horse?

As for scrapping Ordinals, it might bring joy to Bitcoin users craving lower fees and speedy confirmations. Yet, can we assume miners will abandon potential profits? We're all playing this greed-survival game. Decentralization is the way, but whats the price?

Pretty much, it's crazy though how the price of some of the BRC-20 tokens has increased and many investors are going gaga over them. Yes, I do agree it doesn't have any used case, the thing with the developer of BRC-20 is that he was able to exploit taproot and that's why they were able to create this hype.

Not that fast though, the fee is still very significant high for bitcoin transactions, the lowest that I see is 6 sat/vB and it depends on the day. Right now it has grow again to 30-40 sat/vB so still bad new for us.

USDT was based on the Omni Layer[1], which was working on as Bitcoin layer, but USDT-OMNI *died* because of transaction fees, trying to build any blockchain on top of Bitcoin means that more fees will be lost as transaction fees, and building on top of the Bitcoin network is not considered an advantage for stablecoin because the most important thing is not a guarantee The transactions are final, but in ensuring that the value of stablecoin is linked to one dollar, which is something that does not happen like this.

One of the smart solutions was in Luna, which unfortunately ended with the death of the project, which would make many people fear development in this direction.

As of today, no one can beat BTC regarding its usage and liquidation because more people trust it than any other altcoins we have right now. Now that stablecoins are getting some popularities among investors, they will just going to be like other coins in the past where their hype is only in the beginning except when they are going to be used by some huge top companies all around the world or someone like Elon Musk wanted to make one of those stablecoins as his main coin for his company. Any possibilities are open for these new stablecoins but to beat the best mother of all coins is next to impossible as of today.

There's a new stablecoin "in town" that goes by the name of Stably. It's a BRC-20 token issued on the main Bitcoin blockchain. I believe it's the first kind of stablecoin to be ever released on BTC. I'm not sure if it'll be backed by Bitcoin itself, but at least, Bitcoiners can now use stablecoins without having to move to another chain. The downside of this is that it will increase on-chain fees by a large margin. It's an Ordinals inscription after all. Would you imagine USDT, USDC, and other stablecoins launching their BRC-20 version on the BTC blockchain? It would be a complete disaster! The idea is cool, but it's best to move everything else to a separate chain or off-chain scaling solution to keep BTC fast and cheap for everyone to use.

What are your thoughts? Are BRC-20 stablecoins the next big thing? If not, why? Do you think BTC will be able to survive a flood of BRC-20 stablecoin transactions in the long run? What do you think about Stably? Will it have a future? Your input will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. :)

Whatever appears on the bitcoin network, be it stablecoins, NFTs, memcoins, tokens, smart contracts, etc., it all hurts bitcoin itself and its users. Why these attempts to complicate things and make things worse for everyone? As if anyone was in dire need of stablecoins inside the bitcoin blockchain. Absurd. Bitcoin users are not interested in these trinkets, they are interested in fast transfers and low commissions, because bitcoin is first of all a currency, not a platform for launching various cryptocurrencies. With its scalability, it's definitely not worth doing.

I guess this will turn into a failed experiment in the long run. Bitcoin is not meant for stablecoin transactions anyways. I think Ethereum will remain as the #1 platform for all things "De-Fi" forever. Stablecoins and those hyped NFTs should all move to ETH and leave BTC in peace. That way fees will decline on the main Bitcoin blockchain. Developers already proposed "blocking" Ordinals inscriptions, so it should only be a matter of time before the hype comes to an end.

Nothing can replace the Tron network, Binance smart chain, and the Ethereum network,
yea TRC20, ERC20 and BSC20 are still stable and good platforms,
because these three network platforms have smart contracts where we can track transactions easily,
but for BRC20 these platforms do not have smart contracts so it is very risky if stable coins are on the network.

This new mainstream trend that people are flocking to so much will cause some trouble in the future without a doubt. There is no denying that it has made the block a lot more congested, that is obvious from the data we can see and how much more money we need to spend to make this work, and that is going to be the biggest trouble we are facing today and maybe we should be seeing something else changing a bit at this point.

I am not saying that it would be a good idea or bad idea to stop people from doing this because it would be futile, we can't stop them so why talk about that. But we need to find a solution, stablecoins would make this even more crowded and it would hurt us a lot, we should try to avoid that as much as we possibly could.

We don't have to wait in the long run, we have seen that it's already a failed experiment, and it just created chaos in the bitcoin blockchain and even created this 'schism' environment.

I hope it stays that way forever. Else, BRC-20 stablecoins would add more burden to the BTC blockchain. Why use BTC as a "De-Fi" platform when we already have ETH and the likes? I guess Ordinals developer's intentions were malicious from the start. He knew the damage such inscriptions would cause to Bitcoin. The pioneer cryptocurrency is simply not meant for large scale use because of its limited transaction capacity.

With BTC Core devs announcing their intentions to block Ordinals inscriptions, things will go back to normal soon. Who knows if there will be a new fork that will carry on with BRC-20 tokens? Just my thoughts ;D
