Thankyou for your input. Lets say hes real ambitious and really tries to get rid of the fed. Is this actually possible? Lets say he just fucking goes for it. Imagine all retailers overnight accept stablecoin and refuse fiat currency. And say the US stablecoin is backed by gold and silver. How does this play out?
I think anything is possible, but I doubt he actually is able to eliminate the FED even if he wanted to.
I am not an expert in this at all, but I think a US stablecoin
would be fiat. It would just be digital fiat.
A US stablecoin backed by gold would revert to the pre-1971 gold standard. I think that's what Ron Paul wanted. And there was less inflation with this because the government couldn't just print money.
I think widespread adoption of just straight vanilla bitcoin would be better than a "stablecoin" because it would avoid government manipulation. But I only have a very superficial understanding of all this.
