I believe there are some use cases. Think of a government which does not allow currency conversion to more stable currencies in a place where volatility or inflation is very high. In that situation, it might be worth adopting a crypto-first approach, no?

For example, Reserve is a stablecoin designed for markets like Venezuela where it's "illegal" to use USD or EUR.

I'm pretty sure they will make all the stablecoins illegal as well. The fact that they cant really enforce it .. thats something else.
