> Cryptocurrencies won’t change how things need to work to avoid economic collapse

cryptos won't be able to be loaned as easily, since it's hard to create more cryptos on demand. So if there's a surge in demand for loans, the price of loans (aka, interest rate) will surge. Under a fiat system, the state/central banking authorities can simply make more credit available to satisfy those loans, and thus keeping interest rate stable in the face of huge demand.



Bitcoin is like gold. Tether is like USD. You don't trade the gold, you trade the dollars. They never printed more gold, they printed more dollars.

Tether has printed $2B in the past week. Loans will be freely available.
