i had some savings in a stablecoin on a platform that got a huge interest rate and then i realized that was a bad idea. the interest rate was too good to be true but the last straw was when i tried to move the stablecoin funds one time during a bear panic and the platform wouldn't let me move the money. so i exchanged it to USD and put it in a bank then used the cash for the down payment on some land. exchanging the value from crypto to a hard asset was one of the best financial decisions i've made, because a year or two later i would've never been able to access the funds again due to a hack on the defi stablecoin website.

dunno how this shit is legal.



sorry for the snark on your launch, just being an HN caricature.

genuinely, how do y'all protect the consumer from your smart contracts having a bug or security vulnerability? will you ever freeze funds in the event of a crypto bank run?
