I believe one of the major setbacks of the present crypto space is a lot of new projects are focused on providing the fastest easiest crypto coin to be used for payment purposes and transactions
actually the biggest problem is that nobody is focusing on this!
you see most of the project nowadays are focusing on the best way to get the most hype so that they can get pumped biggest and make the most amount of money. the result is obviously disastrous as all the altcoins have turned into shitcoins instead.
Basically, most of the projects you are talking about is focusing on the investment capability side of the coins, they are pertaining how to increase the market value not knowing the potential market factors that can directly make it happen. Bitcoin has lightning network, ethereum has the best transaction speed. That should be an inspiration to others.
