📌 4: Risks of Stablecoins — Stability with a Caveat
$USDC looks reliable… as long as everything is fine. But remember:
— Centralization = Control. Accounts can be frozen.
— Regulations — what if tomorrow they ban, block, or revise?
— Dependence on the banking system — dollars have to be stored somewhere.
So stablecoins are not a shield against everything. They are more like a life vest: they will save you in a storm, but won't replace the engine.
