Stable coins are great for poor ppl because it's more free from capital controls than fiat. Stable coins are great for everyone who needs "stable" unit of account with less capital controls.

Daniel had an unshakable faith in his God. Throughout his life he received favor from the Lord. He once witnessed his three best friends thrown into a fiery furnace, but they were rescued by God and not burned. Now, Daniel was being tossed to hungry lions for defying the king’s edict to worship an idol. But yes, God saved Daniel from the lions just as he saved his friends from the fire. #devotional

Both poverty and wealth are dangerous in their own ways. The poor may be forced to steal from others just to survive, even though they know it is wrong. But the wealthy tend to trust in their riches, forgetting God. It’s easy to forget you need him when you have everything you desire at your fingertips. This wise man requested just enough to have his needs met, relying heavily on the Lord. #devotional
