The volatility is an issue, but stablecoins help with that. Some people are selling for $HBD and the prices should be fairly stable.
A lot of people are just speculating on crypto rather than actually using it. I have spent some of my earnings here. It paid for a nice guitar and some trips to conferences. If the $HIVE price can go up a bit then I am likely to spend some more so that I can have things I want.

Yeah stablecoins are a stop-gap to get things moving towards mass adoption. But eventually we have to end fiat reliance.
