Now, crypto is a currency people can choose to use. They don't have to. We need to build it as good as possible so that people who choose it, can. And those of us who want and have time and resources, focus on building good showcases, demonstrating that it works. Is rapid adoption that necessary? We need to be able to learn as we scale upwards. Right now, we're in the middle of the development after having learnt that "on-chain isn't the be-all end-all scaling solution". It was a fight getting here, and in the end the big-blockers went and created their own coin, which I think was good for all parties. Has it gone viral already, in a way?
I think cryptocurrency has already gone viral last year, at the end of 2017, and was causing the price sky-rocketing very much.
But now, maybe many crypto newcomers already sold their coins and left crypto because this red market.
If we want to make crypto more popular, we need to make crypto as a regular currency in our world.
