Show Notes

"As will become clear as the argument progresses, I actually think the outcome to which I am building up is where things have to go. I think the technical and economic incentives at play make this an inevitability rather than a “choice”"
~ Allen Farrington

What if the stablecoin boom isn't a threat to Bitcoin, but a stepping stone? In this episode, I dive into Allen Farrington’s "A Half Baked Thesis on Stablecoins" and follow it with a massive guy's take unpacking the implications. Are stablecoins a betrayal of Bitcoin principles, or are they the Trojan horse for Bitcoin-native infrastructure? What happens when fiat settles over Lightning? And how could ecash and Taproot Assets reshape everything we thought we knew about digital money? There's a quiet revolution happening at the payments layer—and the stablecoin debate might just be the signal buried in the noise.
