I’ve been closely observing the world of cryptocurrencies#CryptoStocks over the past few years, and while I’ve always been critical of Bitcoin$BITCOIN
, I’ll admit—I’m starting to understand it. What still puzzles me, though—and I know this might sound contradictory to some—is the rising popularity of stablecoins$BTC that are pegged to the US dollar$TRUMP .
Why would anyone want to use a digital token whose value depends on the dollar—a fiat currency that central banks can print endlessly? That same inflation and monetary manipulation are exactly why people criticize the current financial system and turn to crypto in the first place. So it strikes me as ironic that many choose a digital version of the very thing they’re trying to escape.
This brings me to my proposal: instead of trusting the dollar, why not turn to an asset that has historically preserved value? I’m talking about gold#GOLD .
Imagine a token backed 100% by physical gold, securely stored and fully auditable. It would combine the trust and stability of gold with the speed and accessibility of blockchain technology. No inflation, no printing, just real, time-tested value.
In my view, this kind of gold-backed token could offer a truly sound alternative—not just to fiat money#dollar , but even to unstable or speculative crypto assets. It’s not just about decentralization—it’s about anchoring money to something real.
