Let's talk about the digital dollar. No, not about CBDC — the digital nightmare where your favorite Big Brother tracks every transaction.
We are talking about USDC — the most honest version of the dollar you have ever held.
What is USDC, and why does it scare officials?
USDC is a stablecoin created by Circle. One token = 1 US dollar.
It operates on the blockchain, and that means:
• It cannot be printed for elections.
• It cannot be frozen without a court.
• And, most importantly — it works everywhere there is internet.
Currently, more than $33 billion USDC is in circulation. Thirty-three billion dollars that are not subject to Trump, the IMF, or banks with fees for 'international transfers within 7 business days.'
Who uses USDC? People who are tired.
• Freelancers in Nigeria — receive payment in USDC because their currency is depreciating.
• Businesses in Argentina — keep reserves in USDC, because their peso lost 50% in a quarter in 2025.
• The largest DeFi protocols, funds, even Stripe (!) now accept and send USDC — because it is stable. And it is real.
Why don't governments like this? Very simple: control is slipping away.
• With USDC, you do not need a bank.
• With USDC, you are not dependent on Fed politics.
• With USDC, you do not live by the rules of the people who printed $5 trillion out of thin air in the 2020s and called it 'saving the economy.'
And you know who hates this the most?
Those who are used to printing money without asking.
USDC is a revolt
Revolt against inflation.
Revolt against the old banking system.
Revolt against the idea that your savings can be destroyed by one speech from the Fed chair.
And if you think this is just a game for crypto geeks, think about this:
Stripe is a company through which more than $1 trillion flows annually,
just integrated USDC into its global payment system.
In Chile, Turkey, Indonesia, Latvia, and dozens of other countries.
