Excuse me, I'm a bit confused about something. Could you please clarify for me? Is USDC the same as USD? I've heard people talk about them interchangeably, but I'm not entirely sure if they're the same thing or not. Could you explain the difference between them, if there is any? I'm interested in understanding how they work and how they're used in the cryptocurrency and finance world. Thank you for your help!
