Hi,
According to you what do you think is the main problem at the moment in the crypto world?
So why we don't see real life adoption yet and so on.

According to me the answer is simple. People from the general public treats crypto as a new style high risk gambling. They don't take it seriously.

I wouldn't say it like that. Everyone investors knows the risk involved, not just in crypto but the rest of other investments portfolio, stocks, golds, it involved risk. The problem is that investors think that crypto is a get rich scheme, specially what we witnessed at the end of 2017. And when they got burned in 2018, they all bitch around because they got burned easily and doesn't want to take that risk anymore.

Yes, I agree with the FUDster but you can go and counter them and not to listen and used your better judgement. Again, it boils down to investors, specially newbies you can jump in and FOMO'ed without analyzing or studying how the market functions.

Adoption may come eventually, but it will take like 5 years to fully grasp how everything works and maybe we can see people realized that, and start to embrace crypto in general, not just individually, but governments around the world slowly adopting it.

I agree better to avoid any type of Fomo. That is always a bad move. Usually. Also I agree with your 5 years adoption prognosis. Unfortunately. I wanted to see mass adoption more rapidly but I think realistically we should expect around 5 years intervallum.
