My parents, which represent an average person nowadays, do know how to put card data into a site to pay something. What they don't know is how to pay with crypto, even more- for them cryptocoins= automatic scam. Web3 can be a nieche solution for some nieche ppl, but I don't see how it can become mainstream now, as a business you anyway need a classic payment processor bc too few ppl know what is crypto and how to use it

My parents, which represent an average person nowadays, do know how to ride a horse to get somewhere. What they don't know is how to drive a automobile, even more- for them gasoline=danger. Cars can be a nieche solution for some nieche ppl, but I don't see how it can become mainstream now, as a business you anyway need a classic horse barn bc too few ppl know what is a automobile and how to use it

lmao, cars now are ubiquitous, maybe care to provide a better example, or just ignore me, since you have your own beliefs

That was the point He was implying someone could ahve said this in the past

Feel free to provide examples of companies which a) are not 'in the crypto business' (ie they sell widgets, or software, not NFTs) b) obtain the majority of their revenue via crypto.

Crypto is closer to autogyro than automobile in adoption, and there is no guarantee that will ever change.

You don’t have to get the whole world, just people who have crypto — which is millions of people!

More like: ppl that are potential customers AND have crypto
