Today I came across a piece of data that sent a chill down my back: the circulating supply of Dogecoin (DOGE) has quietly increased by 16 billion. Yes, you read that right, it's in “billion.” This is not the first time, and it certainly won't be the last — because the core mechanism it was designed with is infinite issuance. Every year, billions of new DOGE are mined and flood the market. I stared at that astronomical number and suddenly thought of a deeply concerning question: if an asset can be almost infinitely increased in supply, then holding it is like watching your share continuously diluted, right? It's like guarding a pool with a hole in the bottom; no matter how hard you try to add water, the water level is hard to sustain because it's leaking out the other side.
This realization made me feel fortunate. I am glad that I had already transferred most of my assets pursuing 'preservation of value' and 'steady growth' out of this type of inflation model, placing them in a place with a completely opposite mechanism: @usddio's USDD. Unlike the 'infinite printing' model of Dogecoin, the core of USDD is 'over-collateralization' and 'stable anchoring'. Each circulating USDD is backed by higher-value assets (such as BTC, TRX, etc.) collateralized on-chain, and the collateralization rate is publicly accessible. Its supply is not arbitrary but linked to real collateral. #USDD's stability signifies a design that combats inflation and safeguards purchasing power. When Dogecoin quietly increases its supply by 16 billion coins, the corresponding collateral value behind my USDD assets remains unchanged.
'Inflation assets' versus 'stable standard' wealth logic showdown
The huge annual new supply of Dogecoin is a typical 'inflation model'. It requires continuous new demand and new funds to absorb and offset this new supply for prices to potentially rise. For investors, this is a race against time in a 'growth chasing inflation' game with a fundamentally fragile logic.
In contrast, @usddio's USDD practices the logic of 'stable standard' and 'scarcity created by collateral':
Supply discipline differs: DOGE's supply is programmed, indiscriminate inflation, unrelated to demand. USDD's supply is collateralized and demand-driven. To create new USDD, more valuable collateral assets must be locked, which in itself is a discipline preventing currency abuse.
Value storage function: DOGE, as a value storage tool, inherently carries the flaw of 'dilution of purchasing power'. The design goal of USDD is to become a reliable measure of value and a stable medium of exchange, with its price stability mechanism aimed at protecting holders' purchasing power from erosion.
Roots of returns and risks: Holding DOGE, your potential returns completely depend on the external variable of 'more people taking over'. However, holding USDD and participating in the @usddio ecosystem allows you to obtain stable staking yields, which arise from the stability and liquidity you provide to the network, representing an endogenous, productive return.
From 'chasing bubbles' to 'embracing fundamentals'
Therefore, my asset allocation has clear distinctions:
Using USDD to build a 'wealth anti-inflation base': Allocating core wealth, which you do not wish to dilute, into stable assets like USDD that have anti-inflation properties is akin to building a solid 'vault' for your purchasing power.
Using stable returns to cope with 'infinite issuance': By putting USDD into protocols like @usddio to earn interest, the stable cash flow obtained is a tool to hedge against any form of inflation (including Dogecoin-style issuance). Your assets generate 'money' on their own without relying on external funds to drive up prices.
Distinguishing between 'entertainment positions' and 'core positions': Dogecoin can serve as a cultural symbol or a small entertainment investment, but I would never consider it as the cornerstone of my wealth. My cornerstone is assets like USDD that have rigorous mechanisms, transparency, and trust.
Dogecoin has increased its supply by 16 billion coins. This story may continue to gain traction due to Musk's Twitter. However, as a rational investor, you need to recognize the flaws in its underlying mechanism. @usddio provides USDD, which represents a more robust and sustainable path: it does not pursue the frenzy of memes, but seeks to offer a certain stability in a crypto world characterized by volatility and inflation. While others calculate how many new retail investors are needed to absorb those 16 billion new coins, your wealth is already safely appreciating in a system without a 'printing press'. This is the true essence of #USDD's stability—believing in the power of mechanisms surpasses believing in the frenzy of narratives.
