I'm curious, is USDC really comparable to cash? I've heard it's a stablecoin, but does that mean it behaves similarly to physical money in our wallets? Can I use USDC to buy things at the store like I would with dollars or euros? And how does it work under the hood? Is it backed by something solid, or is it just another digital token floating around in the cryptosphere? I'm trying to wrap my head around this newfangled concept and I'd appreciate some clarity.
