Pull payments are a menace.  Can't wait to see this disappear, or at least reined in.  I do like the NWC approach of being able to set budgets and limits and imagine this could be the way forward.

But that's a great point and would be worth mentioning if you do a followup or adjacent episode.

There's two main issues with Stablecoins - centralization and the fact they're based on the dollar.  The former is something that may be mitigated in time.  I wonder if when bitcoin grows to a large enough size and network, if a stablecoin upon Bitcoin will be a reality.  Then we don't need to worry about the permissioned system like Tether.  The fact that they're based on the dollar is something that will matter until it doesn't.  =)
