Things could go either way from here on out, perhaps crypto is the future and 8.88% interest for stablecoins will be the standard; or perhaps it'll all come crashing down and all cryptos go poof in a few years. Who knows? Point being, when a new paradigm comes along, it usually seems strange and uncomfortable enough to feel suspicious. Maybe it's legit, maybe not, there's a chance for either case.
