Human Global Payments = $3T Machine Global Payments = $300T We should be talking about stablecoins as offense tech, not "will replace legacy financial rails" tech. The dollar's global reach is a matter of national security, and stablecoins let us secure USD as the standard reserve currency for our robot future Sure stablecoins are great for replacing existing Visa transactions because they're cheaper + faster + blah blah blah, but the exciting opportunity is defining the financial and economic system for machines. Pushing stablecoin adoption and increasing demand for USD via stablecoins is strategically very good for the US over the long-term.
