Whats the point of storing your life savings in something tied to the US dollar instead of just holding it in US dollars? I genuinely don't understand.


So, several answers - for someone in a priviliged economy, you can more easily deploy this capital to gain a return (deposit in a dex, etc). For people in less favorable conditions without access to USD, it's a way to access a relatively stable currency.
