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.

product with stable as a gate would fail miserably I think

1. every normal non-crypto consumer product is gated or priced with stables 😂 2. respectfully, i’m not advocating for stables as a gate. you can still require holding N unstable coin, just show the price in a fixed stable asset. users are doing the mental math anyway.

My customers love paying me in USDC - because they know they are paying me fairly for the value of my product. They wouldn’t want to pay me X shitcoin and then once I ship out the candle it goes to 0. That wouldn’t make them feel good about themselves. Customers do not think about method of payment at all when it comes to non crypto projects !
