Yeah, except for the fact that regular people will actually be able to use it to buy potatoes using a real currency, not a "currency" that's more volatile than tulip bulbs were in the 1600s.

i’m not sure if you’ve use crypto before, but people buy things in USDC all the time.

Right now, probably nowhere, it's just being introduced.

Afterwards, if it's anything like SEPA, aside from my joke "bag of potatoes" comment, everywhere. In Europe you can make SEPA or SEPA backed transfers almost everywhere.

I live in Europe and have never seen a single potato retailer advertise SEPA. Electronic payments are all Visa and Mastercard.
