not exactly true - Binance is indeed "printing money", just with no centralized regulation. When the Feds do it the expectation is that they are aware of the long-term impacts of doing so, and include in their calculation. For crypto it's the opposite: do it before you erode trust & goodwill to the point where it's no longer valuable. I see it more like it is very different than printing money in a economy that's perceived as stable and quite similar to printing money in one where the people have no faith in the value of sovereign currency. So the crypo-promoters are right about the use-case in certain jurisdictions, but the problem is that's not where the wealth is, so they target rich economies that tend to have stable government currencies & established banking, and do not need crypto for legitimate tasks.





I doubt they can because they peg it to USD, do you think they can pay aws bill with busd??? maybe you can but people with busd would convert it to usd at some point
