In this video, I discuss the USD stablecoins USDC and DAI breaking their pegs to the US dollar, as the result of over 8% of Circle's USD reserves being trapped in Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), which failed yesterday.
USDC was already a centralized, captured coin that could be turned on or off at will by the parent company Circle. Now we can see that it is not even stable when it comes to its price.
Like everything in "DeFi Land," stablecoins are decentralized in name only ("DINO") and should not be trusted with your long-term savings, in my opinion.
All stablecoins are actually unstablecoins.
Bitcoin is my stablecoin.

Banks must be trusted to hold our money and transfer it electronically, but they lend it out in waves of credit bubbles with barely a fraction in reserve:
