it's inevitable that crypto product frontends will price access in stables and allow users to pay in whatever asset they want. pricing access to a product in a volatile asset is too bad of a user AND builder experience for it to remain the norm. speculators buy access they'll never use, drive up prices and lock out potential real users. bad for builders (who need real usage), bad for users (who can't get in). "what's wrong with adjusting access requirements as price changes?" if you're dropping access from 10k $token to 1k $token while nothing about the product changed, you're already pricing in stables — you're just using $token as an unstable middleman, introducing volatility risk for users and extra work for yourself. defi enables any product frontend to show price to access at a stable $25, yet users can still pay in whatever they want (ETH, USDC, ANON, HIGHER, VEIL). the tech for this already exists today. zero friction for users. zero complexity for builders. zero volatility risk for everyone.

Speculator purchases of LAND in /dcl have seriously hurt development of the platform. DCL is one of the only contiguous metaverse worlds but it has vast, empty plots of land that will never be developed unless speculative investment types decide to actually build something. Modifying the market with stables or whatever requires a series of votes in the DAO and ultimately a Chang in the smart contracts. Some of those are over 5 years old now.
