Everyone keeps talking about “mass adoption” like the average person actually cares about decentralization, self custody, L2 scaling, ZK anything, etc. They don’t. What people actually care about is making money and not getting rugged. That’s it.

The irony is crypto already solved the interesting part (global permissionless capital formation) and everyone keeps pretending the end goal is buying coffee with tokens. No one moved to the internet to send digital postcards. They moved because it made new millionaires and killed old industries.

Same pattern here. Crypto wins not because it’s “useful,” but because it rewires how finance works. Everything else is marketing.
