I wish there was usdc over lightning

if there is, it’s poorly advertised

does seem like a huge swing and a miss for lightning to only have unstable value units of account going over it

the market clearly wants something else, and has that, on other networks at large volumes

thanks! yes I mean to check on bitcoin after major network upgrades like Taproot. okay that article was last updated 10 months, how is that panning out with standardized protocols and wallet integration and issuance?

I’m curious where the communities about this are, or are nowadays

I personally have no need for "stable" assets, so I don't know more than that they exist.

Same here. I'd rather hold and use an asset that unstably increases in value greatly over time, than one which continuously goes down in value to 0 (all fiat currencies go to zero eventually)
