I think people choose crypto because of its nature being decentralized, community driven and one that can open global trade. There will be a lot of projects that will come and go until there is something so simple that it makes sense for people to use on a day to day basis. There will also be a lot of conversation around what true indpendent money means. I was reading a really good article about the topic of independent money is and it made me realize why people choose crypto all together.
