 Crypto Doublethink is widespread.

On the one hand, people say that USD backed by Bitcoin, "can't work", but out of the other side of their mouths they uncritically support Tether.

This is 100% irrational Crypto Doublethink.

Stablesats Think accepts the premise, inevitability and legitimacy of fiat as its starting point; that the measure used to value Bitcoin is and should be fiat.

This is clearly wrong, and anti-Bitcoin.

If it were not the case that fiat is the ruler used to measure the value of fiat, no one would think "Stablesats" were required, because Sats are Money.

Fiatistas never accepted and still do not accept the fundamental thinking behind the creation of Bitcoin. They are US American Dollar addicted delusionalistas and fiatistas.

And you must remember; none of the people advocating Stablesats are actual Bitcoiners; they came to the ideas that underpin Bitcoin after it was released, not before. They are not philosophically aligned with the ideas that were the spur to create Bitcoin (many of them are die hard collectivists and Socialists), and so of course, they are predisposed to accepting lies as the truth, like measuring value in US Dollars.

Thankfully, Bitcoin does not and cannot care about any of this, and the true Bitcoin entrepreneurs building Bitcoin companies on its sound foundation are the ones that are changing the world, not people at the periphery promoting the US Dollar, wrapped dollars, Stablecoins and other junk, who scream about other dollarization ideas, "Not that way, but the way I want them!"
