The way digital assets are used is changing. In the past, everyone would go all-in on a single coin, but now some are considering how to effectively utilize two tools simultaneously: Bitcoin and stablecoins. This isn’t an either-or situation but a division of roles working together.

**The role of Bitcoin is clear: a long-term store of value**

It is the gold of the digital world. Its scarcity is assured, and its network security has stood the test of time. Volatility? That is normal for new assets and a price long-term holders must accept.

**Stablecoins, on the other hand, are the market’s circulating blood**

For example, some stablecoins pegged to purchasing power maintain stability through over-collateralization, aiming to become the mainstay in DeFi, daily transactions, and commercial settlements. One remains static while the other moves, complementing each other.

**How does this configuration work?**

Stablecoins unlock value within the Bitcoin ecosystem—your BTC doesn’t have to be sold; you can collateralize it to borrow stablecoins, maintaining your long-term exposure while participating in DeFi to generate yields. On the user level, it’s about: storing Bitcoin as a “security deposit,” using stablecoins as “daily pocket money,” completing a full cycle within the crypto ecosystem from savings to payments to income generation, truly reducing dependence on traditional finance.

Moreover, the value foundation of stablecoins can be anchored to the consensus around Bitcoin, which means increased trust in the entire system.

**The key question now is**: Between “long-term preservation of value” and “instant liquidity,” which is more likely to attract traditional capital first? Why?
