Well I have plenty of friends in Argentina, and Ethereum is helping them live through hyperinflation.

Their currency is plunging, their banking system is corrupt, so these are their options:

1. Trade Pesos for USD on black market exchanges. Hide cash in safes & under mattresses 2. Purchase Dai or other stablecoins. Keep money in multi-signature vaults, earning interest through lending protocols.

Plus, cryptocurrencies allow many of them to work for foreign companies and get paid directly in stablecoins.

USD isn't that great because there's so much counterfeiting
