Dollars over Bitcoin
summary
Panel argues that issuing credit on Bitcoin is practical but risky: billions of dollars already exist as tokens, the original Tether starts on Omni-issued Tether and modern designs hedge via Lightning, Ukraine raises large amounts of BTC and USDT in the first 48 hours of invasion, and scalability plus inability to peg writebacks from sidechains remain unsolved. Key concerns are who to trust, reputation-on-chain, regulatory risk if Lightning nodes become exchangers, and whether 2.1 quadrillion satoshis provide enough granularity for a Bitcoin standard.
