Good call, listen to the part from around 30 minute mark about ZSA’s, governance, and how / if / when they should be implemented . In particular I like @nuttycom 's comment on education of new users and its implications.

Stablecoins have a hidden cost, and this discussion discusses some of those trade offs

Thanks @squirrel :zebra: :student:
