What’s a Stablecoin?

You’ve likely heard of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, but what’s stablecoin?  In essence, it offers the best of both worlds in regards to the cryptocurrency marketplace.

This has the potential to be big, as the average investor or consumer is just not comfortable using something that can change in value by double-digit percentages.
