Ironically, if crypto was stable, it would better appeal to the general public. However, it would lose ground with its current user base.
The paradigm is incorrect. This generation of crypto will all, eventually, fail.
Frankly it takes the inconvenience of cash and couples it with technology the vast majority of its users could not accurately describe. If that's not enough, it's unusable for peer-to-peer payments without an immediate cash-out.
Crypto must be built around utility. Utility leads to stability. Stability leads to adoption. I'm not anti-crypto. I'm anti-whatever-the-fuck-this-is.
