Stablecoins have never been more useful I recently paid for a five-night stay at a hotel in Greece's Cyclades islands. To my surprise, it was way more expensive to pay by credit card than in cash Why? Banks charge fees on each transaction We're talking about €7.50 in fees PER transaction 🤯 Many Greek merchants face this dilemma and prefer cash over cards (or they pass on the transaction fees to customers). However, keeping large amounts of cash poses security risks If the hotel owner had a digital wallet, I could have paid in stablecoin—instantly and without fees 💡 I suggested she create a wallet, and she said she'd "look into it" While many perceive the crypto world as purely speculative, it actually offers numerous practical applications—such as stablecoins—that deliver tangible value to users
