Spot on. Those that don’t care about applications and stimulating demand will fade away and it may be the downfall for the entire ecosystem of Ethereum. Companies like Stripe enter the arena with a significant demand model built-in from a powerful customer base of merchants that want lower fees and more ways to earn and consumers that want easier/better ways to pay, borrow, and earn. Stripe will gain significantly higher margins, earn far more than they do now because of the finial instruments, while satisfying the needs of both sides of the markets. Our absolute failure as an ecosystem at educating and integrating while we had the opportunity is just abysmal to think about. Regulation was our moat and instead of making the most of it we built a million stupid casinos.
