"Taler is for merchants" it seems to be some sort of p2p system. All crypto "currencies" lack a price stabilization mechanism. USDT seems stable but you have the counterparty risk. There is a counterparty risk with Taler too similar to the cashu mints people are promoting here but it's simpler and doesn't need a blockchain. As for the quantitative easing, inflation for USD and other similar currencies is in the low single digit % I can live with that.
