> Advising unproven risky businesses to depend on other unproven risky businesses?

Read carefully: They’re not actually advising that startups prefer it. They’re allowing it as an option.

It doesn’t mean that it will actually be used. They just don’t want to appear like they’re avoiding the companies they’re funding. It’s a bad look.

I think you are confused. I don’t care about the announcement, I’m specifically addressing a point from my parent comment, which I quoted. Again, this time with emphasis:

> YC, like most incubators, has always encouraged (…)

“Encouraging” means advising, advocating for, not “allowing as an option”. I don’t know if YC really does that, but that’s the conversation. It’s about the claim made in a comment, not the submission.

Re-read what I wrote: The "encouraged" was about past use of other products, to provide context. I wasn't claiming they encouraged the use of stablecoins. I was adding historical context to the move.

Yes, I understood that perfectly.

> I wasn't claiming they encouraged the use of stablecoins.

Neither have I claimed you did.

> I was adding historical context to the move.

Yes, I know. All my answers are congruent with that.
