Those stablecoins are permissioned by the issuers just like dollars are permissioned by the Fed. And if the issuers of those stablecoins transmit dollars on behalf of their users, they're under the purview of the Fed, who can restrict the usage of those dollars.

The entire point of Bitcoin is not to use fiat, so issuers of dollar stablecoins on Bitcoin are bound to be captured and brought under the Fed's control, just like Tether, which complies with government sanctions despite claiming to be decentralized.

Right. So if your node is routing Taro LN stablecoins…

then your node is routing Taro :)

Your node is can route regular lightning between two users who have Taro channels unrelated to you. You have to be running a Taro channel yourself to be involved in the shitcoinery.

Stabelcoins also don't matter. All that matters is that money reigns the world and he who controls the money controls the crowd. That's what this is all about. Remaining in control.
