Do you see how USDT is been deployed back to other chains that are safe and faster than Ethereum, they are doing that because of the demand from those chains because Ethereum is killing retail investors with gas fees, and the average person couldn't enjoy using stable coin because what you will be using as the gas fee is enough to use for other stuff, the fees are so high that the more are burned on the Ethereum chain and mint on safe and fast chains.

Now compare Ethereum with Bitcoin, do you think Bitcoin will survive this pain of gas fees? Ordinals were trending just two weeks ago and the mempools became congested with many unconfirmed transactions, what do you think will happen to the Bitcoin network in a Bull run when there will be demand for Bitcoin and stablecoins, an average guy wouldn't be able to cover that costs of transaction and the network will become useless.

Yes, we have already discussed in the thread that the scale of issuance of all token records with Ordinals turned out to be very small, and obviously this does not correspond to the needs of any possible stablecoin. Therefore, most likely some scammers will decide to play on the popularity of bitcoin, the trendiness of Ordinals and the imitation of stability in the word stablecoin. This is if we do not take into account that in general all stablecoins as centralized projects are very unreliable, and even if the one try to release them on the basis of the bitcoin blockchain, this will not change.

The real value in the bitcoin blockchain is only in bitcoin.
It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Realizing the trouble that lies beneath almost every single stablecoin will make you question why do they even exists in the first place. Just accept the fact that they are basically there to make sure that we are investing all of our money into some company, it is basically telling them to take your money and give you a "share" that worths 1 dollar.

That's exactly what it is, we all pool our money together and give them tens of billions of dollars, and we hope that they don't steal it, and not like we are getting anything in return neither, we give them 1 dollar per pegged coin and we get back the same, so it is worlds worst investment there ever was, and if they fail and bankrupt? All of our money gone. Not only we do not share the profit, we also take the risk, it is definitely a terrible one.
