except there are things like tether and usdc which are fixed to the value of the US dollar permanently.
Not sure why your down voted. I have used them before to transfer money and works fine. It's exactly why it exists. I wouldn't store money there, but for transfers and transfer out, they work perfectly fine.
It's because supposed stablecoins often also end up being scams.
Yeah, i get that. But the 2 mentioned are fine and not going anywhere unless something catastrophic happens. I wouldn't use some sketchy ones either.
Lemmy fuckin hates crypto lol
anyone with a functional brain and a flash of cognitive self awareness hates crypto.
cause its a fuckin scam designed to screw over rubes.
One of those stable coins was once found to not having a single cent backing it, unlike what the team behind it claimed.
Risk for risk, I stick to the feeless coins.
I only say this because the parent comment was in reference to payments and the reply was talking about investment inflation / deflation. for strictly sending payments, stablecoins can be okay. but as for crypto shit as a whole I'm not a fan of what it's become.
