>>This "government issued fiat currency" garbage needs to die yesterday: a lot of people are going to lose their shirt when the first one blows up.

What you are saying is a risk endemic to all fiat currencies, including stablecoins.

All symbolically represented forms of value quantization are subject to a failure of confidence. Cryptocurrencies are nothing new in this regard. All money is memetic in nature.

That's like saying "base jumping isn't really more dangerous than flying commercial, after all we're all going to die anyway".

Fiat currencies have militaries. Your stablecoin doesn't.
