Yesterday I came across an interview with CZ, and one sentence left me stunned for a long time: “Dogecoin hasn’t disappeared, which surprises me.” Even the top leaders in the crypto world cannot understand why a 'joke coin' has lasted so long, ultimately attributing it to 'Elon Musk possibly playing a key role.'
In that moment, I suddenly felt a chill down my spine—what we ordinary people study every day, K-lines, consensus, fundamentals, are so fragile in the face of a joke? Dogecoin survives, not because of how advanced the technology is or how strong the ecosystem is, but simply because a billionaire likes it.
Do I really want to continue playing this game where 'narrative determines life and death'?
In the next second, I made a decision that my friends laughed at: I liquidated all DOGE and meme coins, converting all my funds into USDD from @usddio.
They laughed at me: 'CZ is just expressing surprise, he didn't say DOGE is going to crash, why are you panicking?'
I replied with a heart-wrenching remark: 'When the top people in a market cannot understand the underlying logic, what difference is there between retail investors and meat?'
The lifeline of DOGE is tied to Musk's thoughts, while the popularity of PEPE comes from community emotional bubbles— the value of these assets floats like a kite in others' hands. In contrast, the value of USDD is firmly anchored in over 130% on-chain collateral. It does not rely on any big shot's Twitter, nor does it fear any community's change of heart; it only believes in mathematics and transparency.
It's like a gamble: you can continue to bet at the table of 'Is Musk in a good mood today?' or you can get up and walk into a room where the rules are completely transparent, and wins and losses are determined solely by mathematics. I chose the latter.
In the world of USDD, there is no 'surprise', only 'certainty'. Its stability does not come from anyone's favor, but from the collateral logic that is written in the code. This is what is truly worth trusting #USDD for stable belief—what you trust is not a person, but a mechanism.
So, when CZ expresses surprise at the existence of Dogecoin, perhaps we should consider a more fundamental question: is your asset built on 'other people's preferences' or on 'immutable rules'?
My answer is already hidden in every USDD transaction on the chain.
