Podcast Lesson
"Reframe incumbents' objections as profit protection When banks lobbied to block stablecoin yield from being passed to consumers, the standard framing was that they feared "deposit flight." But as the hosts quoted Bitwise's Matt Hougan: "with stable coins, the banks aren't worried about deposit flight. They're worried about profit flight." Recognizing this reframe — that institutional opposition is almost always about protecting revenue, not protecting customers — lets you evaluate any policy debate, product launch, or industry negotiation more clearly and spot whose interests are really being served.
