So I get that stablecoins are less volatile than normal crypto, which makes them more acceptable as a currency for funding. But what is it about them that takes them from “acceptable” to “appealing”? Aren’t they basically just “USD but with extra steps”?

They are not "less volatile"—they are tied to the course of the USD. They are easier and cheaper to use than real money, because the real money industry is retarded.

  • Payments suck only in the US. In Europe we have (often free) instant bank transfers from a lot of time.

    • I know right? And you also don't have to pay for a bank account. My checking account is negative because they keep charging me for having it, but I don't even use it, and I can't close it.
