## Description

"The only way to untether crypto from TradFi is with a censorship-resistant stablecoin." -  Ben Weintraub, Creator, Pinto

Are algorithmic stablecoins dead or just misunderstood? This talk makes a bold case that censorship-resistant, decentralized money is still possible but only if we rethink the models. From credit as a scalable value base to time-based bank run incentives, new mechanisms like Nebula offer hope beyond the Terra collapse. This isn’t about copying old models it’s about reframing the problem to create stablecoins that actually work.
