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.

That‘s a fair Business (frontend) decision.

Getting Users to stake, burn or pay with a specific token CAN lead to token upside and enable teams to work with a bigger budget to grow faster. 


If they make use of the volatility, target the Right Investor-users, but ofc also gotta find a way to remain accessible vs financial engineering.
