Yes, by which ones are peer to peer and which ones are centralized. That’s also why there doesn’t need to be a bunch of them.

Now, how do I know which ones that were around 5 years ago…would be this stable?
How do I know this one will be stable for another 5 years?
Is there… some kind of objective analysis I can do here, of all stablecoins, to at least have an idea of this, or am I throwing darts while blindfolded?

Cool, how do I determine that?
Is there some kind of… universal metric, a p2p to centralized scale, that is accurate, transparent, and stays basically the same… for a deacde?

Unfortunately not, it’s like picking the right Unix-like OS in 2003.

The right Unix-like OS
It’s always been BSD, it’ll always be BSD.

… and that is my point.
This is an extremely unreasonable paradigm to expect a business, or really any kind of enterprise or endeavor beyond a fairly low stakes hobby to be built off of and operate from.

USDC and USDT have also been stable for quite some time.
USDC might be the only one I’d really trust though. Since it’s backed by Coinbase and Circle, it seems extremely unlikely to break down in any way. Because the powers at be wouldn’t allow it. Too much institutional investment.
