  No, nobody does that. There is no mining involved None of your crypto comments are coherent, I can tell they are intended to be cynical but they also dont make sense

    Let me coherently explain it for you so you're not so confused: "stablecoins" is a oxymoron. Like "military intelligence" or "fighting for peace" or "clean coal". Get it now? http://tmbw.net/wiki/Oxymorons,_Paradoxes,_And_Contradictory_Statements http://tmbw.net/wiki/Oxymorons,_Paradoxes,_And_Contradictory...

  Actually, when 2 opposing militaries are more or less equal, the most likely outcome is peace. When they are drastically unequal is when war becomes likely.

    Unless you're talking about some board game like "Risk", I believe the causes of international war and peace are a little more complicated and nuanced than the "more or less equality" of their militaries, if that could be even objectively measured or absolutely known. Do you really think "military inequality" was the root cause of WWI and the Civil War?

Now what was it you were saying about "stablecoins"...? There certainly seem to be a lot of charlatans who flippantly throw incoherent terms like that around as if they had any meaning, even though they're utter nonsense, don't you think? https://cryptonews.com/news/usd-133m-stablecoin-basis-is-reportedly-closing-down-3064.htm https://cryptonews.com/news/usd-133m-stablecoin-basis-is-rep... USD 133m Stablecoin Basis is Reportedly Closing Down The well-known stablecoin project Basis is shutting down operations and returning what is left of the funds they raised to investors, The Block reported citing undisclosed sources with “direct knowledge of the situation.” The shut-down reportedly follows regulatory problems, although details are sketchy at this point. According to sources, an announcement had to be made by Basis some time Wednesday evening. As of press time Thursday morning, no such announcement has been made. Basis did not respond to a request for comment. But a lot of other people commented, for example: TwitBot @vasilipoupkine1; Replying to @AriannaSimpson: I’m kinda pissed they are blaming US Govt instead of their frankly utterly nonsensical stable coin design. Algorithmic stable coin is a nonsensical concept. There is no law, though, that somehow prohibits it. Lame.
