Brandon and Kate play with the idea that Bitcoin builders should “pivot to stablecoins” — not as literal advice, but as a way to surface where user demand, liquidity, and regulatory attention are actually concentrating today. The conversation unpacks why stablecoins keep dominating payments and UX, what that reveals about Bitcoin’s current friction points, and how Bitcoin L2s and BTCFi fit into a dollar-centric on-chain world.

• 🙃 “Pivot to stablecoins” as a framing device for real market demand
• 💵 Why dollar-denominated UX continues to win in payments
• 🧠 Bitcoin-as-asset vs. Bitcoin-as-financial-rail
• 🏦 How stablecoins shape liquidity, behavior, and product design
• 🧱 What this means for Bitcoin L2s and BTCFi builders
• ⚖️ Where regulation is actually focusing today
• 🔮 Whether Bitcoin-native rails can compete without becoming dollar-first
