are stablecoins as the future of crypto a bad thing?

--------------------

the current stablecoin marketcap is $237.49B

not a huge part of the crypto as a whole YET, but i foresee it being the main way people interact and use it as time goes on

the question is - is it a potential contagion considering how centralized all stables are?

or does present adoption outweigh future centralization risk?

Stablecoins are necessary, but if everything in crypto just becomes about them, then the whole movement kind of loses its soul.
It’s like owning a sharp sword but using it to slice bread — useful, sure, but not what it was made for.

So hopefully in the future, stablecoins stay for practicality, but truly decentralized assets like BTC, ETH, and privacy-focused projects keep evolving. That’s the balance crypto needs.

In short: stablecoins are like rice — essential, but don’t forget the real flavor comes from the side dishes.
