Maybe USDC being public makes this a better time. I believe Steam tried to accept bitcoin, but the price fluctuations and slow transactions made it impossible for them to provide the level of service that set.

People seem to not mention the 'slow transactions' that often, but suddenly adding all the business formerly transacted with credit card companies by itch.io would probably wreck all of crypto immediately. Too much volume.

BTC or any crypto lost way less value (in fact only increased) where 1 USDT/C lost 20-25% of its value for the average European since trump began crashing the US.

Really no reason at all to hold or handle USD compared to nearly anything else right now :)

For your information, there's stable coin for EUR as well[1]

Also CHF and many other currencies have interesting stable coin projects. Or just hold on BTC/Eth/... directly :)

Do you not mean 'hodl'?
