🧠 Crypto Dummy’s Take
“While other chains chase hype, Stellar just plugged into real money systems. With PayPal, Mastercard, and DTCC on board, and $470M+ already in tokenized assets, Stellar is the blockchain that’s actually being used — not just talked about. The signal is there. The noise is elsewhere.”
