Stablecoins and Bitcoin are fundamentally two different paths. When asked about this topic, my view is straightforward: stablecoins are not competitors to Bitcoin, but rather to traditional payment networks like Visa, Mastercard, and the major banking systems.
The game of stablecoins is to improve payment efficiency and create faster, cheaper transfer methods. From this perspective, the US dollar will become the biggest beneficiary. As the world embraces the wave of stablecoins, the US dollar's position as an international reserve currency will become more solid, and its use cases will expand significantly. This is not to say that stablecoins threaten the US dollar; on the contrary, the US dollar gains new vitality in the digital age through stablecoin formats.
Bitcoin belongs to another dimension of assets, representing a completely different value proposition.

Stablecoin is like giving life to the US dollar, Bitcoin is the real rebellion.

I give in to this logic. Stablecoins are just tools to prolong the life of the dollar; they are not revolutionary anything.

Stablecoins are just working for the dollar; Bitcoin is the real revolution. This logic doesn't quite hold up.

Wow, this angle is amazing. Stablecoins are actually just the digital upgrade of the Federal Reserve. I hadn't thought of that before.

Here comes another brainwashing stablecoin? Do you really think I haven't experienced the 2018 narrative? Now they're just changing disguises to continue fooling new investors.

Wow, I've never seen such a clear-headed analysis, but feeling that the US dollar's reliance on stablecoins for survival might be a bit too optimistic?

In essence, stablecoins are just a different shell of the US dollar. Banks have long been unable to sit still.
---
Finally, someone has explained this thoroughly. Bitcoin and stablecoins are indeed not the same thing.
---
That's what they say, but the real competitors should still be the CBDCs issued by various central banks, right?
---
Spot on. Many people in the crypto world just can't tell the difference between these two things and are entangled in constant comparisons.
---
A new vitality for the US dollar? That's funny. Stablecoins might actually accelerate the decline of US dollar hegemony. Alright?
---
That's a good point, but how do you explain the bunch of messes with USDT?

That's a valid point. Stablecoins are essentially an innovation in the payment layer, not a monetary revolution.
The US dollar upgrading digitally through stablecoins is indeed a brilliant move.
BTC is the true rebel; they are two different things.
Stablecoins have made the US dollar more stable, which is interesting.
But to be honest, the real threat still comes from the central bank digital currencies of various countries.
