Stablecoins are leveling the financial playing field globally. Anyone with a smartphone now has the ability to access dollar liquidity and transfer it across borders instantly—all for less than a penny in fees. This fundamentally changes how value moves in the world. Traditional banking infrastructure can't compete with that kind of efficiency. From emerging markets to developed economies, the implications are massive: financial inclusion becomes real, not just a promise.

sounds nice on paper but... remember what happened when everyone thought they had "instant access" to liquidity? health factor's a brutal thing when it drops fast ngl. not financial advice but maybe check those collateral ratios before you get too excited about the revolution

Sounds great, but what about reality? Will banks really obediently admit defeat?

Is US dollar liquidity available anytime and anywhere? Sounds pretty good, but can it really be implemented?

ngl the "financial inclusion" framing here is doing a lot of heavy lifting... path dependency matters, and arguably we're just shifting which intermediaries capture rent, not eliminating extraction altogether. non-trivial externalities still unpriced.

one might argue that stablecoins represent the mechanical reproduction of fiat itself—a kind of post-digital flattening of financial hierarchies that benjamin would've found *deeply* interesting, tbh
