Why are your EweToob embeds using one and a third screen widths?

You might need to check your EweToob settings or something, Dad.

What's going on, Pin?

Characteristics of Stable Coins

Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency that aims to maintain a stable value by pegging their market value to an external reference, such as a fiat currency (e.g., US dollar), a commodity (e.g., gold), or another financial instrument. This pegging mechanism helps stabilize the price of the stablecoin, reducing volatility and making it more suitable for everyday transactions and use cases.

There are several types of stablecoins, including:

Fiat-backed stablecoins: Backed by physical currencies held in reserves, such as TrueUSD (TUSD), USD Tether (USDT), and USD Coin.

Crypto-backed stablecoins: Backed by other cryptocurrencies, such as Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC).

Commodity-backed stablecoins: Backed by physical commodities, such as gold.

Algorithmic stablecoins: Utilize algorithms to control the supply and demand of the stablecoin, similar to a central bank’s approach to printing and destroying currency. Examples include Havven (nUSD) and DAI.

In general, stablecoins aim to:

Provide a stable store of value

Facilitate transactions and commerce

Offer a cheaper and more efficient alternative to traditional fiat currencies

Enable users to take out loans or insurance backed by their stablecoins Overall, stablecoins aim to combine the benefits of cryptocurrencies (decentralization, security, and mobility) with the stability and predictability of traditional fiat currencies.

I looked at settings. Did not see anything to do what you want. I use a Brave browser except for streaming services.

This can be knocked down a bit by including a "width=50%" or whatever somewhere in the HTML code for embeds. I've noticed these coming out bigger. Seems Youtube has changed the standard now that everyone has a 90" monitor.

the standard now that everyone has a 90" monitor.

maybe that is why I get those odd looks at the cafe when I plunk down my lapping top.
