Its US dollars and you can transfer it to anyone that is capable of downloading a wallet app. If you want to spend at stores you can use any number of debit cards or just wait till visa integrates it which is coming soon [1] I don't understand why you want to be so hostile towards it, it's literally the solution to this problem. 1: https://usa.visa.com/solutions/crypto/auto-payments-for-self-custodial-wallets.html https://usa.visa.com/solutions/crypto/auto-payments-for-self...

So let's just skip all the unnecessary useless steps and intermediaries in between, and let those cryptoi holders that are so willing to pay those artist just use those debit cards and visa integrations to pay the creators in actual dollars.

  What's the point of a hard drive? You're only uploading and downloading from the internet, why not just keep all your data in the cloud? This is essentially your argument just using money rather than data right? Can you think of any reason someone might like to hold their own data? Perhaps they don't like being at the mercy of a company that can ban you from accessing it at any time like the OP? Perhaps they like the freedom of choosing where they send and receive data from instead of only using the provider approved services? Crazy that so many people still don't get this and give all their power and control of their money away to providers because it's slighty more convenient.

Oh look, when we don't ignore reality, you yourself are immediately suggesting those creators use intermediaries.
