I recently started playing with the Breez wallet (https://breez.technology) and they introduced a podcast player directly in the app, and small payments are sent to the author every few seconds, while you listen to the podcast episode. It's pretty nifty and I like it. If there would be widespread support in browsers for this kind of technology, I could see it get to mainstream adoption.

  🦄 🦄 🦄 Core smart contracts of Uniswap v3

  

You need to interact with some of these Decentralized Financial applications to get an idea of the utility of stable coins like USDC and DAI vs an ordinary dollar. They're completely programmable. You can lock them into smart contracts that are completely auditable, open source, and verifiable on chain. You can earn yield lending out your USDC on protocols like Compound (https://compound.finance/) or Aave (https://aave.com/). You can provide liquidity for other crypto pairs such as ETH-USDC, or WBTC-USDC on Uniswap (https://uniswap.org/) or SushiSwap (https://sushi.com/). You can join a lossless lottery on PoolTogether (https://pooltogether.com/). You can remit payments in USDC worldwide, instantly, with no intermediaries by conducting a transaction on the ETH blockchain. There's high, high demand for crypto dollars, both within the crypto ecosystem as well as international folks who are unbanked and don't have access to USD. But besides this, after using DeFi, I can't stand the archaic nature of our existing financial system. It really is going to go the way of Blockbuster this decade. This is a smart move by Visa to stay ahead of the trends, to get involved, to earn fees, to stay relevant in this new, developing world.
