Is USDC really comparable to Bitcoin? I'm trying to wrap my head around this whole crypto-sphere and it seems like there are so many different currencies and tokens out there. Bitcoin, of course, is the OG, the granddaddy of all cryptocurrencies. It's decentralized, limited in supply, and has this whole mining thing going on. But USDC... isn't that supposed to be a stablecoin? It's pegged to the US dollar, isn't it? So, how are they similar? Or am I missing something fundamental here? I'm just trying to understand the nuances and differences between these two. Is USDC like Bitcoin?
