The post actually makes a fair point—USD stablecoins like USDT and USDC are only as stable as the U.S. dollar itself, so they still lose purchasing power when the dollar faces inflation.
For folks in countries with high local inflation, holding stablecoins can feel like a lifeline compared to their rapidly depreciating currency, but in the bigger picture, stablecoins don’t protect you from the dollar’s own loss of value over time—especially if you measure them against assets like bitcoin, which has historically outpaced fiat inflation in the long run.
So, while stablecoins offer short-term stability and practical benefits for payments and savings, they aren’t a true hedge against long-term inflation—they’re just as susceptible to dollar debasement as good old cash.
