Both... but also neither. I meant mostly the marketing aspect. Or for a better word, prestige aspect. People really hate crypto as online cash. Examples:
1. Patreon has held a poll about what new features to add [0]. Crypto was the only feature the creators actively voted against. Note that for creators, crypto means one more way to receive money.
2. My anecdote: I was in a discord group where one member commissioned a short animation from another. They're from different countries and the commissioner couldn't use paypal (for some reason) however. I suggested USDT and explained how to convert it from/to fiat.
They ended up using international wire transfer (fee: ~$30).
