fiat collateralized stable coins

Are any bogleheads purchasing fiat collateralized stable coins to take advantage of the high interest rates some of the platforms are offering?

Re: Moving from Bay Area to LA Area - Best Value?

I have lived in Los Angeles my entire life, but am planning on leaving. The homeless problem has grown substantially. Los Angeles has turned into a third world city, with enclaves of wealth and a vibrant economy for single, well-paid younger people who spend most of what they make, but more a more, a place where the sick and mentally ill and beggars populate public thoroughfares.

Re: Miles Davis Concert in Chicago (Early 70's): Date and Venue?

That's the start of a great period in his career. I love when he had guitarist Pete Cosey in the band.

Sounds like High Fidelity.

Re: Honda FIT

I have a 2010 Fit Sport model and totally recommend it. I bought it new and absolutely love it. I checked out several other subcompacts and the Fit was by far my favorite.

Re: What is the best financial decision you ever made?

The best financial decision I ever made was to turn my garage In 1994 into a guest house In Los Angeles and have been renting it out ever since.
