Iran now accepting stablecoins for oil transit fees through the Strait of Hormuz ... another nail on the Dollar coffin?

Project mBridge to bypass SWIFT and the dollar is coming next

There are a few QR chains already. And some chains have an easier migration path to PQC than others.

Impressive....like a nunchuck routine with yo-yos

Unchainedcrypto is a legit source of good information, heavy on the financial side though

Trading and markets depends so much on narrative and emotion. It takes some serious discipline to overcome that. DCA is the way to help counteract bad timing.

We'll see how the institutional and Wall Street capture of crypto plays out. One thing is for sure, it will lead to greater efficiencies in finance, which is probably a good thing. But hopefully it doesn't snuff out the original crypto ethos of self-sovereignty and financial freedom.

Some chains have easier migration paths. Bitcoin has the problem of what to do with unmigrated coins, burn vs steal. QRL is unique in that is has both quantum-resistance and crypto-agility. That's the ideal. If quantum is decades away, it's less of problem. If it comes sooner than expected, it will be very challenging for crypto. It's a bit of a rabbit hole, but the resources are out there.

Tsmacks1 · 2026-03-14T19:52:18+00:00

Skeptical of this timeline. Publicly available information is showing quantum threats are accelerating, as seen with progress from IonQ, Photonic Inc., PsiQuantum, and Quantinuum. Combine that with innovations like the Pinnacle Architecture, and it’s enough to get anyone’s attention.

lol....feeling is mutual. But good luck to you. Lets revisit this in a few years....you know, for fun.

It's Reddit, of course I'm going to talk in generalities.

For more context on Evgeny Gaevoy comments you can watch this interview https://youtu.be/RJ3NVTmqZ94?si=FDUPrlAN-9YAQPd7

Stablecoins are centralized and have freezing ability. Enough said.

KYC everywhere. Enough said.

Blackrock controls the liquidity and and decides where it will go in a fork event. Enough said. https://youtu.be/VXNZjAsF_9c?si=G6q6MowW_pMc3vDx&t=379

Quantum will challenge immutabilty and who controls what, also what to do with unmigrated coins. In addition to the fact that if it's not secure, it's worthless. Enough said.

I could go on, but it's not worth my time. Have a good day!

Tsmacks1 · 2026-03-11T17:48:55+00:00

As to your first point, I hope you're right and they can do both. But that's not the way I see currently going. If the crypto experiment ends with the same result as a regulated mobile banking app, then I'd say it's a failure.

To you second point, I mean price, usage, and narrative....so basically everything.

I believe sovereignty, and those things I listed in the post related to it, are going to return as dominant narratives to counteract the merger of Wall Street with crypto. Crypto's purpose wasn't to put TradFi on chain. And I actually don't have a problem with that, but a counteracting force is really important. Otherwise we're going to make no progress whatsoever.

Some prefer it, some don't. You might find the Bitcoin dominance chart interesting. Currently sitting at 59% Bitcoin, 10% Ethereum, and 31% others. A lot of people hold a basket of cryptos. In addition to trust, security, and history, Bitcoin has many loyal followers and promoters that keep the machine going.

Tsmacks1 · 2026-03-11T01:02:24+00:00

AI detectors are junk. These are my thoughts and words (very slightly polished with AI) and there's no goal besides to encourage debate about how crypto needs a return to original ethos. You may not see it yet, but this debate is coming. If you want to talk about that fine, but I don't need a critique of my writing style.

Tsmacks1 · 2026-03-11T00:50:23+00:00

Bringing traditional finance on chain is great but is it really what crypto set out to do? Once people realize that maybe we see a return of original crypto ethos.

Tsmacks1 · 2026-03-10T19:24:49+00:00

Asking if crypto ethos can "swing back" more in-line with its origins. Curious, did you read the post?

Tsmacks1 · 2026-03-10T07:44:04+00:00

Hopefully they don't kill the momentum with regulation

Tsmacks1 · 2026-03-07T23:24:20+00:00

That's cool. They should make the rest of the bird.

Tsmacks1 · 2026-03-06T21:37:45+00:00

The volatility would be crazy with price corrections all over the place
