Ahh what i ment is using tether or usdb instead of usd. Which is instant and decentralized and widely accepted crypto bound to the usd value. It just saves you from up and downs, its still crypto

Well, so you are still trading with people believing in the value of these systems (which are <95% of businesses), which is a very specific distinction to cashing out money with which you can pay e.g. your taxes.

Cashing out is no issue either, just not without a name. However even that exists trough localbitcoins.
