To get users on board with crypto there needs to be easy pathways.
Buying BTC is difficult in many countries of the world.
Some have ATM's, now called BTM's.
Others are limited to a few exchanges or use of LocalBitCoins to find someone in the area.
The next issue is having a form of conversion that is relatively stable.
And that is where Stablecoins come into the picture
Each of these are pegged to a know base currency.
tether was an original one.
Singapore now has a new one called Switcheo.
Each coin is pegged 1:1 with the USA dollar.
Each day new announcements are made, 2019 looks to be shaping up to be the year of the Crypto.
