Had some "spirited" discussions yesterday regarding stablecoins on #Bitcoin. It’s clear the tension between monetary purism and pragmatic adoption is at an all-time high.
As a consultant advising fintechs on payment rails, I see the ground reality every day: we are fighting for a $32.9 Trillion retail market, yet #BTC Map shows only ~20k merchants onboarded.
Pure BTC is the destination, but for the 99% of businesses facing 5% margins and strict compliance, stablecoins on Bitcoin rails (via Taproot Assets) are the essential bridge. We can’t win the world if we refuse to build the plumbing they can actually use today.
I’ve written an article deep-diving into this schism—balancing the "Sound Money" philosophy with the "Trojan Horse" strategy for merchant adoption.
Publishing the full piece later today. Stay tuned. 🏗️⚡
