I'm curious, could you elaborate on the fundamental differences between USDC and Bitcoin? I've heard that they're both cryptocurrencies, but I'm not quite sure how they differ in terms of their underlying technology, purpose, and even their approach to decentralization. Could you please break it down for me in a way that's easy to understand? I'm particularly interested in understanding the stability mechanisms of USDC compared to the volatile nature of Bitcoin. Also, how do their use cases differ? Are they both primarily meant for speculative investments, or do they have practical applications in the real world? Thank you for your time and expertise in this matter.
