V-23 · Peso vs dollar — what you prefer to hold #238

Description

@ericmt-98

Wave 6 · Market & User Validation (batch 2, V-16…V-25) — first-person, privacy-first, delivery by PR. Continues V-1…V-15.

Validates: Product — canonical-peso decision + inflation-hedge thesis · Vertical: cross-cutting

Context

The vision promises "you just see dollars," but the cash-out and retail legs touch the local peso, and we still have to pick a canonical stable peso. We need to know how users actually think about holding dollars vs their local currency.

Share your own experience (privacy-first)

  1. In your country/region, when you have money you don't need right now, do you prefer to keep it in your local currency, in dollars, or something else? Why?
  2. Has inflation or devaluation ever changed how you store money? What did you do?
  3. If an app let you hold "dollars" but spend and cash out in your local currency automatically, would you trust the conversion happening behind the scenes — or would you want to see and control the rate?
  4. Would you rather the app show your balance in dollars, in your local currency, or let you switch?
  5. What would make you distrust a "digital dollar" or "digital peso" — what would make it feel as real as cash?

Delivery

Open a PR adding a ### V-23 section to docs/VALIDATION_DRIPS.md with your first-person answer.

⚠️ Privacy-first

No real names, phone numbers, addresses, wallet addresses, private keys, documents, receipts, transaction hashes, or financial details. We do not ask for any amounts of money — not even ranges. Share only a general country/region and your own anonymized experience. Responses in English or Spanish.
