You're not selling a syntax. You're selling a solution. The homepage should be selling me on what you're solving, not the syntax to do it.
Turns out it's quite interesting. When crypto goes down, many folks sell into USDC, which causes more USDC buying by the exchanges. But when crypto goes up, people often get in with USDC.
So basically: USDC goes up. And since this money is sitting in Circle's bank accounts, imagine what happens when the Feds raise interest rates. $CND is the SPAC supposedly taking Circle public, if it ever goes through.
Of course, very directly, Spotify would not exist without Napster.
But a step further, it opened the eyes to end-users about their collective power, and the beauty of distributed distribution. It was the first proof that "regular" users would buy into such a thing. Napster, in many ways, gave birth to BitTorrent, Bitcoin, and all of the derivative work thereof.
