We don't even need stable coins, just used to enrich the issuer and at some point the bubble will burst.

We do and we do not in the same time. Stable coins don't promote decentralized market but also it is a "pillow" in the market fluctuations that may harm people who have purchased a specifi amount of cryptos in order to use them for micropayments and everyday life.

I suppose, it is a lot like USDT, but from another group of people (company called Circle)? It's also about storing dollars in a bank and people owning crypto versions of dollars, right? I don't think that such coins are bad, because the current market situation is very unstable and generally bearish, so people might be interested in freezing their assets in cryptocurrency this way (since fiat-crypto exchange policies are not very nice as well). I don't trust these coins, however, because it's not safe to hold money in some real place that could be burned or robbed. Moreover, as is the case with tether, people cannot be sure that each coin truly is backed by 1 dollar and the revelation of such a thing could lead to sudden collapse.

I like your thinking, thx for sharing. I agree.

This spam of Stablecoins can impact the market in the short term very positive ->much more volume and Billions of "USD`S"  

Prepare your selves for a nice $$ injection in the market by USDC.

But in the long run, I believe this can be very dangerous as we get a lot of manipulative power in the ecosystem.

Ah, I see Circle's new stablecoin has been launched. Gemini just launched one as well.

More will follow for sure as it basically means printing money that people might never want back, same as the 1.2 billion $ that sits quietly on the Starbucks cards.

Next will be an avalanche of other currencies like euro, pound, yen, yuan and for sure we're going to have also a large influx of scam coins by fake companies and the madness of useless alts will never end.

A stablecoin issuer, just like an exchange, could inject unbacked money into circulation.

Of course, nobody is stopping them to do otherwise.
And they could simply create a "stable" coin, buy BTC with it, sell the coins for $...and voilà the coin is backed. By their own money, made out of nothing.







Yes, And we are accepting this fact as it where normal.

But this is how things work - 0% logic

It seems like your thinking is based on the ideas around tether being used to manipulate market price but the basis of that theory is that tether is not backed by real dollars. If any stable currency is backed by real dollars then they aren't creating money out of thin air, they're only doing so when there's a real demand for it and we won't have any artificial money coming in to the market and inflating it


Yeah, but you point to trust these people. I prefer trustless ways of doing things, and there are ways to create Stablecoins without a central authority

I mean, anyone can believe anything, and I don't trust this big fishes.

Would you keep your fingers away if you had the chance to have few bucks extra without much risk?
I would have problems my self to stay back and don't try to make some extra profits.

Yes you got it, didn't we saw something similar in December?

A lot of stablecoins coming up this days.
In any case I think this is a bullish signal.

I also wondering about Eth Ts cap, it is allredy overcrowded... Adding more and more demand could be destructive.

Maybe we see soon a waves or Eos Stablecoin.

I guess they can allow for manipulation in the same way that Mt Gox (the Willy bot) could. When you get down to it, a stablecoin is an "IOU" in the same way that an exchange account balance is an "IOU". A stablecoin issuer, just like an exchange, could inject unbacked money into circulation. Is that the kind of manipulation you're talking about?

Note: This is referred to USD "backed" StableCoins - Others like DAI still have nice fundaments.
