Apparently, the reason is having an incorrect opinion.
Why would I hold stablecoins that are getting devalued at a MINUMUM of 2% per year over Bitcoin that has gone up in value on average at over 200% a year for the last 10 years. Not to mention other cryptos.
It is also troubling they found the error accidentally. Seems they didn't do even minimal validation of the results, such as applying Benford's Law. https://iaonline.theiia.org/putting-benfords-law-to-work

Yes, these tools make it harder FOR DEVS, but now the Ops team has a hope of actually managing the platform.
