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?
This is a very wrong thought and assumption, we are not yet mainstream if that is what you think, the mainstream you are talking about are those paid for content on forbes and bloomberg promoting their ICO, the adoption is there, I read a tweeter post today saying that 2% of those selling their cars now have Crypto as payment option
