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 a double-edged sword for crypto. On one hand, they enable real-world usability, lower volatility, and drive mass adoption. On the other, their reliance on centralized entities introduces censorship and regulatory risk — which contradicts the core principles of decentralization. As the ecosystem matures, we need stable assets that are not only scalable, but also resilient, transparent, and permissionless. The future of stablecoins should prioritize both adoption and autonomy
