An ordinary banks takes in a $1 deposit and issues up to $0.90 in loans.
A stablecoin issuer can take in $0 and loan any amount they choose.
It costs them nothing to disperse stablecoins to friends in exchange for IOUs. Friends who will then use the coins to buy/sell and otherwise manipulate crypto prices in collusion with the issuer.
Bottom line: There is nothing to stop crypto prices from being rigged by stablecoin issuers --- aka the exchanges.
Musk called Dogecoin a "hustle" but the reality is actually much bigger than that --- the entire crypto market is a "hustle".
