Recently, this wave of market fluctuations has dazzled people. Gold has surged to a historical high of 4400 USD, and Bitcoin has also been jumping up and down. Every day, you can see a bunch of people regretting not entering a position earlier, and also a bunch of people anxiously wanting to buy the dip. But wait, behind this excitement, there's a question worth pondering: When these assets experience drastic price fluctuations due to scarcity, where should we keep our money to feel secure?
To be honest, trading in high-fluctuation assets can indeed bring huge profits, but the risks are very real. A small misstep can lead you from the peak to the bottom. It's like surfing in big waves; while it's exhilarating, what most people need first is not crazier waves, but a boat that can safely carry you across the river.
It is also for this reason that while gold and Bitcoin attract all the attention, there is a more fundamental and critical track that is being quietly laid out by truly knowledgeable funds - that is the infrastructure of decentralized stablecoins.
Why? Because the core narrative of gold and Bitcoin is "store of value", but the price fluctuations are so large that it becomes less friendly as a "unit of account" and "medium of exchange" in actual transactions and the DeFi ecosystem. In contrast, decentralized stablecoins have a completely different logic. They do not care how much they will be worth in ten years; what matters is whether they can be exchanged for equivalent value steadily at this moment. In this constantly fluctuating market, this kind of certainty itself has already become a scarce resource.
True configuration wisdom is not about putting all chips on assets that are skyrocketing, but about building a stable foundation amidst fluctuations. Stablecoins are playing this role.

Stablecoin infrastructure? Sounds good, but real money is still in fluctuation, stable = boring = missing the big pump.
You're right, there has to be a foundation, but I still can't afford to bet on this "steady and safe," unless I really lose to the point of questioning life.
The surfing analogy is spot on, the problem is everyone thinks they can ride the wave, but in the end, 90% become victims of the wave.
I buy this logic, stablecoins are indeed useful in DeFi, but no one really wants to hold it, right?
Decentralized stablecoin layout? Feels like another new way of playing people for suckers, same soup but different flavors.
Gold at 4400, Bitcoin is rising again, and you're talking to me about stablecoin fundamentals? Wake up, brother, the market doesn't buy this.
This is Risk Management 101, but most people choose to ignore it, and so do I.
Stablecoins are interesting, but the premise is that this thing can really stabilize and not be manipulated.

The infrastructure for stablecoins is indeed a severely underestimated sector. While Bitcoin attracts attention like gold, those who truly understand allocation have already been lying in ambush in this area.
