Hear me out: I think we got too popular too fast. The normal person on the ground would expect to use crypto much more for daily-life transactions but this is not currently the case. Maybe we needed some more time for the technology to mature (no scaling issues, slow transactions, etc) THEN the normies come in. Right?
I disagree. Crypto will never be useable for daily-life transactions until it gets more traction. Nobody will want to build on crypto until it has a huge following. I'm afraid it doesn't go the other way around. The more people that use crypto today, the faster scaling technologies will be built and the faster we grow.
