@jonah_b if issuing and redemption APIs are seamless, stables will likely be abstracted so buyers and sellers only feel fiat. Until rewards programs can be funded by holding the stables… rerunning the interchange rewards funding game

Truth has become harder to see nowadays, not because there’s less information, but because there’s too much narrative from people with their own interest.
In a world of 24/7 news cycles and instant takes, stories often move faster than facts. Narratives get formed early, amplified quickly, and corrected if at all much later.
For builders and leaders, this matters.
We see this all the time in business. Assumptions get repeated until they’re treated as truth. For example, we’ve seen reporting we have suspended our IPO this year — despite the fact that we never planned to do an IPO this year, or even next year. That’s how easily narrative can outrun reality.
Another example: I recently saw reporting that referred to “Airwallex strategy and operations head Briar Mercier” and attributed company-wide positions to her. In reality, Briar is a compliance operations analyst, at a very junior level, and far from leading strategy or operations at Airwallex. A small inaccuracy, perhaps — but one that completely changes the meaning of the story.
A third example went further, suggesting that “concerns about access to customer data from China had circulated internally”. What this actually referred to was a narrow, routine operational question: whether account executives in China should retain access to their own China-based customers’ KYC data after onboarding. It had nothing to do with China accessing customer data from other regions — yet the narrative implied something far broader and more serious.
I’ve also noticed that some narratives are built on information from several years ago. That context can be useful historically, but without acknowledging how much has changed, it can distort what’s actually true today.
This is how narratives drift. Context gets stripped away, scope gets inflated, and nuance disappears.
Good decisions don’t come from headlines or hearsay. They come from first principles, primary sources, and direct context.
The discipline is simple, but hard:
Separate facts from interpretation
Slow down before drawing conclusions
Be comfortable holding uncertainty while you verify
Truth doesn’t need to be loud. It needs to be accurate.
Over time, facts compound. Narratives fade.

it should be obvious that the days of independent crypto native cex platforms are numbered, shown by majority of founders starting to head for exits via ipos, mergers or other buyout strategies - resulting in the demand and focus of dex platforms
those overly concerned with initial issues of new platforms overlook that a dedicated mascot with unlimited financial and marketing resources can quickly build a leader in the space
