Why bother using a convoluted blockchain stablecoin rube goldberg machine where you need to jump though several hoops just to use it, when you could use a service like venmo, square, stripe, etc? What use case would justify the need for a stable coin if not for evading the law?
Simple, just look at ETH. ETH is fully programmable currency. It can be locked away in a smart contract and programmed to disburse based on various conditions. A stable ERC20 token would have all the benefits of ETH coupled with the stability of the dollar. That's an incredibly powerful concept, much, much more powerful than a simple payments API with 2-3% fees BTW.
