Fun fact I unsuccessfully pitched Coinbase on making their own USD stablecoin in late 2016 / early 2017 and wrote up a whole spec for it :P

But big subscriber to ideas are cheap and it's all about the execution i.e. team that ended up launching USDC crushed it and timing was great

That’s such a cool story, love how you embraced the mindset that execution beats ideas and cheered for the USDC team’s success
