Behind the joke lies a crucial question: what does a truly global financial system actually look like?



Stablecoins could reshape how the world moves money. But here's the catch—if this new financial layer gets locked down by a few mega-corporations, we've just recreated the same centralized system we're trying to move beyond. That defeats the entire point.

The real play is keeping things open. Human-governed. User-owned. Not captured, not controlled, not walled off.

That's where the ecosystem innovation comes in. Open protocols and user sovereignty aren't just nice-to-haves—they're the foundation. When you build on decentralized rails, you get a financial layer that actually stays open and actually serves everyone.

Coming with the same spiel again? Decentralization, user sovereignty... sounds all correct, but in reality, has it ever been that simple?

Well said, but the reality is that big companies have already been staking their claims. Can true decentralization survive?

The moment centralized stablecoins become stable, they are no longer stable. --- It's another story of "decentralization," but the distribution of chips still remains in the hands of a few institutions. --- We've been hearing about open protocols for three years, but in the end, they are just tools for big players to harvest. --- User sovereignty? Ha, just look at who is controlling liquidity now to know the answer. --- The shape is already formed, and the next wave will inevitably be oligopoly-stabilized coins. History always repeats itself, and retail investors are always the last to realize. --- Good question, but the answer has long been written in the on-chain data—the concentration is increasing, and that is the answer. --- The dream of openness, the reality of capital. That's where the contradiction lies.

That's right, for stablecoins to truly be stable, they need to be decentralized first; otherwise, they're just big companies in sheep's clothing, used to harvest retail investors.
