      No, you misunderstand the point of a stabletoken. They are designed to have a fixed value, usually tied to the US dollar. Is the US dollar a “casino chip”? That’s what these sites usually price things in to begin with.

        Yes, it is just a casino chip. The US dollar has been backed by jack shit for a long time.

          Then isn’t Gumroad already selling goods in exchange for “casino chips?” What alternative would you suggest?
