You can get paid in USDC and can transfer that to and from your bank account as quick as banks will allow, or pay people directly with it.
So, as always every discussion about "but crypto" almost immediately devolves to "not crypto, but a very specific coin that seems to be more-or-less okay at this particular point in time"
