Steam needs to intorduce Stable coins

For people that don't know. Stable coins are "crypto" regulated and always pegged to the U.S Dollar. So they will always be valued at $1 Dollar

This would avoid payment processors controlling the content of Steam.

NO, Valve / Steam is NOT a Bank.

Valve are not going to replace credit cards with a form of currency the majority of the world's population is not going to touch.

Go back and research news articles. Gabe Newell has already said numerous times that he is not going to support crypto on this platform.

And it's not going to bring the games back to Steam because Valve will not get rid of the current payment processors.

Here it is, Valve's own statement;

"stable coin" sounds like a euphemism for equestrian waste

The payment processors will simply go after all of Valve's suppliers if Valve refuses to play ball.

What we need are actual anti-trust laws against these cartels, and not bandage solutions to get around their behavior.

That is, uhm, entertaining. I'm baffled. Not sure if surprised but if reality bypasses any cynicism, it is quite something.

Yeah I mean who wants 50% of your transactions being fraudulent? Nobody.

Stablecoin is a misnomer. It's not stable, at all. They claim to be backed at a certain limit, but not a single one has been able to remain so, getting "de-pegged" to lower values repeatedly since no true backing or reserves.

It's no better than any other cryptocurrency, it's just as useless as well.
