    Reminder: the DAI stablecoin's "stability" has failed, in the past, when bots stop functioning. Its gravity-defying character amidst a massive price collapse when the whole market is looking for liquidity makes little sense.

    DAI has shown on at least one occasion to be majority-run by price-fixing bots. Its price peg is maintained on exchanges with minimal to no regulatory supervision. Put DAI on an exchange that aggressively polices wash trading, and if it survives maybe I'll be convinced.

    In crypto it makes sense to do things like MakerDAO which is 300% collateralized while the price of everything goes up. In a black swan, however, this arrangement means the holder of a CDP loses money 3x as quickly on the way down.
