I get that the US Dollar is a more stable currency than many, if not all, others. I don't understand why, if you're getting into cryptocurrency to avoid inflation, you would chose one based on any fiat currency. Invest in one that is tried and tested and has a limited supply that is actually inflation proof: Bitcoin.

The point is people don't want to get into crypto, they want to get into USD. But capital controls make it difficult, so USD stable coins are a good enough alternative.

Bitcoin is extremely volatile.
