As coins

OK, but for transaction purposes....
For example, Paying e.g. Jackie Chan for Kung Fu shoes in China and avoiding bank monkeys and two weeks of due diligence and SOF/SOW documentation BS, how would you sub-categorize them?

PS. I know coin is the main category, but how about the subcategory?

the biggest pile of elephant coins of all the coins, with a storm of flies over it looking like this:

What are the categories? What are we comparing them to? What's the goal?

What are the categories?

NGL, I don't have an exhaustive list, but from my experience I can list these:

1. Bitcoins
2. Altcoins e.g. ETH, XMR, XNO, LTC, etc. (not to use that other unpleasant term )
3. Stablecoins e.g. USDT, USDC, DAI, etc. (which my clients and suppliers use to do fast unencumbered transactions to avoid the slow banking system and its SOF/SOW/Invoice/Tax returns, etc. requests i.e. ACH, wire transfer, SEPA, etc. etc., so I too am compelled to go along if I don't want to starve. Life's TOO short for me to argue with my suppliers and buyers )
4. CBDC (just adding this due to everyone doing the fear-mongering
5. ???????

What are we comparing them to?

The traditional slow and overwhelming banking system with lots of ridiculous documentation demands with funds being frozen...

What's the goal?

Increase business by avoiding any and all tasks NOT related to product procurement, logistics, and delivery.

Stablecoins = fiat representives on rails (nothing new) - PayPal, LindenBucks, etc

Bitcoin = tech + monetary + scarcity = digital gold (money)

Ethereum / Solana = tech + digital currency credits
