Stablecoins, as the name implies, are an attempt to achieve some sense of stability for crypto or blockchain-based economies. Although the execution of the idea of stability is largely flawed, the heart is in the right place when it comes to stablecoins. Economic systems need stable hedge against everything else. They need something that remains in place when everything soars in value and also when they crash. In most cases, the argument falls heavily on the need to have a stable currency to battle inflation and all of that, but the truth is that the real value comes in something far more simple: accounting.
