“Stripe is going to build the world’s best stablecoin infrastructure.” 

This is super exciting, but also a reminder of a big split I see in crypto: stablecoins are permissioned, and they’re really just an evolution of fintech.

There’s room for both, but the latter two are more exciting to me in the long run.
