  One of the most common mistakes in discussions about stablecoins is focusing on the technology before understanding the problem that it is trying to solve. For all the advances in technology over the past several decades, moving money across borders remains surprisingly inefficient. International payments often rely on multiple intermediaries, settlement can take several days, fees can be significant, transparency is limited, and access depends on banking infrastructure that was designed long before the internet became the foundation of global commerce (this was exactly how I discovered USDT myself 😎 ). This issue is noticeable compared to how information moves today, almost instantly and globally with very little friction. Money, however, still largely depends on systems built around banks, correspondent banking relationships, business hours and jurisdictional boundaries. Stablecoins emerged as an attempt to address this gap by combining the stability of traditional currencies with a digital infrastructure that allows value to move more efficiently. And they are not trying to replace existing currencies. The most successful stablecoins are denominated in the same currencies that already dominate the global financial system, primarily U.S. dollar and Euro. Their value is not in creating a new unit of account, but in creating a different way for that unit of account to move through the digital economy with low fees, global coverage and instant execution. This distinction helps explain why stablecoins have succeeded where many other blockchain applications did not achieve meaningful adoption. Rather than asking users to accept an entirely new monetary system, stablecoins allow them to continue using familiar currencies while benefiting from a different settlement infrastructure. Stablecoin transaction volumes have grown rapidly. According to Visa's on-chain analytics, stablecoins processed more than $24.4 trillion in transaction volume since 2019. The total stablecoin marketcap has also grown to more than $160 billion, while major issuers such as @tether and @circle now serve tens of millions of users globally. Business adoption continues to increase, and nearly every major financial institution, including J.P. Morgan, PayPal, Visa, Mastercard, etc, is now exploring or actively developing stablecoin-related initiatives. Stablecoins are often discussed as a separate category within digital assets, while in reality they are the first successful example of tokenization at scale. For major ones, like USDT and USDC, every token represents a claim on an underlying asset held outside the blockchain. In other words, stablecoins demonstrated that tokenized representations of real-world assets could attract users, liquidity and global adoption. But the whole tokenization ecosystem is much broader than stablecoins, as we will see in the next parts of this series.

  @CarsonTalkMoney I think PayPal is also a steal. Issue is how you get into these stocks. Most people see a drop and buy all at once and then bag hold. You have to DCA in and only go for shares too (options drain capital on depressed stocks IMHO). PYPL is better because it at least has a small dividend. Adobe could go down to the lower 100’s so I’m buying in bits and pieces.

  @jroberts332 Hi James, I think my Paypal for Generation Mechs never went through, are there any leftover books I might be able to buy? If not no sweat, I’ll get the paperback if that should happen down the line

  Today SpaceX went public and raised $75 billion, the most money any company has ever raised going public. In 2008, that same company had $200,000 left in the bank and one rocket launch away from shutting down for good. Elon Musk had already spent his entire fortune, $100 million from selling PayPal, on SpaceX and Tesla. Both were running out of cash. He was borrowing money from friends to pay rent and didn't own a house or anything he could sell. They had enough money for one more launch. On September 28, 2008, the fourth launch finally worked. A small team had been stationed on a remote Pacific island to run those launches. SpaceX became the first private company to ever reach space, and within weeks, NASA handed them a $1.6 billion contract to supply the International Space Station. The company survived. SpaceX's main rocket now launches more than 3 times a week, with a 99.8% success rate. In 2008, before any of this existed, getting one kilogram of cargo to space cost around $10,000. SpaceX brought it down to $2,500. The company now handles 85% of all American rocket launches. Starlink, SpaceX's satellite internet service, has 8.5 million paying customers in over 100 countries and brought in $11.4 billion last year. SpaceX's first employee is throwing a 6 a.m. party today after 24 years building the company. SpaceX is now worth $1.77 trillion, larger than Tesla. 4,400 of the people who built it are becoming millionaires today, and about 400 will end up with $100 million or more. Most of this wealth sits in Brownsville, Texas, one of the poorest cities in the United States, where SpaceX employs 3,000 people at its launch facility. Many of them are welders, cafeteria workers, and hourly workers who took company stock instead of higher guaranteed wages. They stayed through the years when that stock was worth close to nothing. Today's $135 share price is 24 years of patience paying off.

  Guys, PayPal is proving difficult to use at the moment. Those who can use Wise in EUR will be able to receive commissions much faster. Until then, please be patient with the slow service.

  @808isfate @kplayground_ldn Wondering this too. I didn't go through with the purchase, because it fully looked like they were going to charge that 1k to my paypal when paying, and that would be a massive financial problem even if that money was returned later
