haha i remember this conversation

btw @monerostar i think the better approach would be "downside protection as a service" during the checkout process

Thank you for the primary source instead of a summary, that's the right way to do this. I read the logs. What stays with me is not the ban argument either side, it's rbrunner's point that the page looks convincing and a Monero stablecoin is one of the most requested things there is, so the audience is already primed before anyone reads a whitepaper. I'm keeping my own post as a question about where people's bar sits rather than a verdict on a person, but this is exactly the kind of context that makes the question worth asking.
