decentralized networks are not companies; DCF is the floor not the ceiling for network tokens

not all onchain projects are decentralized networks, these tokens should be valued and operate more like companies

Incomplete distinction:

For institutions, stables are primarily a messaging protocol innovation, like ACH or SWIFT, but where the 'medium is the message' (the message is both the state change and the trusted, instant settlement -- this the key innovation of blockchains) vs. legacy systems where the message and settlement are independent processes.

For consumers, stables are primarily an innovation in convenience and economics/incentives. They combine the potential for rewards and better economics with the convenience of instant global financial access (still being built out)

Likely wrong dichotomy:

Yield-generating stablecoins vs. Payment stablecoins.

There will be an infinite number of bespoke, branded stablecoins held at rest for yield generation, but only a few major ones used for inter-stable settlement due to liquidity network effects.

Yield-generating stablecoins are held for earning interest or rewards programs, while payment stablecoins are used for settlement.

numerai but for memecoins

whos building this

The first app on any smart contract platform is money (h/t @punk4156)

A good money (for SoV) has a number of measurable characteristics —most important is predictable, deflationary supply. Others include, gini, decentralization, yield, lindy, (what else?)

Deflationary supply is something that most smart contract chains do not currently have. Begs the question: what needs to be true for that to change?
