The fact that a stable coin should be assumed to be high risk betrays a major problem of the crypto crowd.

It’s new and relatively untested.

We don’t say that because new spacecraft have a high risk of failure vs a 747 that there is a “major problem” with space exploration.

True, but in this case the new spacecraft is being marketed as a safe alternative to the 747, while still having a higher risk of failure.
