Stablecoins, backed or issued by tech giants, can change everything — and not necessarily for the better. Imagine a token pegged to the US dollar from Meta, Amazon, or Apple. Seamless integration? Of course. But also total control.

Every purchase is tracked. Every transaction is recorded. And forget about decentralization — these coins will follow strict terms of service. You can be blocked, frozen, or geographically restricted in the blink of an algorithm.

Yes, adoption might explode. Billions of users could connect overnight. But at what cost to privacy and financial autonomy?

Cryptocurrency was created to break free from centralized power — not to hand it over to Silicon Valley.
