the right analogy for stablecoins is starlink for money starlink brings billions online for the first time // stablecoins bring billions into a flat, egalitarian financial system + give billions first time access to USD the utility of both is not that apparent if you have great infrastructure already, but it's still pretty handy for redundancy in developed world + essential in markets where infra is lacking both are totally independent parallel infrastructure that reimagine how things could be done. no reliance on old infra starlink for money
