Can we stop calling stablecoins crypto?

They’re 1:1 backed U.S. treasury, government surveillance instruments that have a bit less friction than bank wires.

Useful, especially in international contexts for those that want dollar denominated instruments, but they’re a far cry from any of the cypherpunk promises of cryptography and of course Bitcoin.

"Crypto" will probably go away, and we'll be left with bitcoin and stablecoins.
