Stablecoin Adoption Could Stifle Central Bank Control, IMF Warns - Decrypt

As a true Bitcoiner, I live by these core principles: — Self-sovereignty above all: I hold my own private keys and treat any form of custody like it’s radioactive. — Run my own full node: I personally verify every rule and every transaction myself, strengthening the network and never outsourcing trust to someone else’s server. — Bitcoin mine, no matter how small: Even if it’s just a tiny rig or a lottery ticket setup, I directly contribute to securing the network instead of sitting on the sidelines. — Understand Bitcoin at its deepest level: I get the hard-coded scarcity, true decentralization, unbreakable immutability, and why sound money must be separated from the state. — Actually use Bitcoin as money: I spend and receive bitcoin in real life whenever it makes sense, instead of just hoarding it like a collectible. — Give back to the ecosystem: I teach newcomers, support open-source projects, defend privacy tools, or help build censorship-resistant infrastructure—whatever I can do to make Bitcoin stronger. — Long-term stewardship mindset: I don’t see Bitcoin as just another investment; I see it as one of the most important technological, economic, and philosophical inventions in human history, and I act accordingly.
