Same reason all the above companies got into Beanie Babies: To make money.
Stripe is happily selling pickaxes to gold miners, as they say. They are more than happy to collect their "useless" fiat USD, and play along. I think it's ethically dubious, but... that's another story. It's certainly profitable.

I'm still asking where is the 'use case' in beanie babies vs cryptocurrencies, or stable-coins like what Stripe is using it for? > Stripe is happily selling pickaxes to gold miners, as they say. They are more than happy to collect their "useless" fiat USD, and play along. I think it's ethically dubious, but... that's another story. It's certainly profitable. And that somehow is a problem? Is that why it will be 'totally destroyed' and banned then? Surely both you and the author are going to be disappointed and have to complain a bit more if you're looking into 'destroying' it all.
