Alby is a Bitcoin and a Nostr signer. I think including stablecraps and other shitcoins is a very bad idea. If a nocoiner wants to get Bitcoin, it is sufficient that you put a link to some decentralized exchange, like Robosats. A nocoiner doesn't need to be presented to the posibility of scam coins like tether. And the worst part: this is a step forward into tether-lightning, a disastrous idea that could kill Bitcoin adoption and lead nocoiners to the fiat trap. Also, the idea of a "maxi button" is laughting to our faces. You can't hide bad ideas and principles by just hiding them from the user interface. And it says a lot about you. Not good things.

I slightly disagree. Having stablecoins minted on Bitcoin via protocols like Taproot Assets or RGB, which are native to Bitcoin, will actually benefit the Bitcoin Network in both the short and long term. Most important reason is human psychology. The transition for any small business owner to start accepting stablecoin payments as an alternative to traditional card payments is way easier to achieve than having to start accepting bitcoin directly. The step from stablecoin payment acceptance to direct bitcoin payments acceptance is the logical next step. And even if they don't eventually start accepting direct bitcoin payments, they are using bitcoin as the settlement layer without even knowing it. It will therefore enable more and easier bitcoin acceptance by merchants, create more revenue for lightning channels and it's node runners, create more revenue for the miners, create more bitcoin awareness, and more adoption of bitcoin, etc. This will enable true Bitcoin businesses (including node runners) to grow, which in turns creates less dependency on fiat.
