i onboarded a restaurant in cannes to accept payments on @base

Not trying to be a debbie downer, but if we actually want to move the needle, we need to focus on where crypto solves real problems. You could get every shop in southern France to accept stablecoins, and it wouldn’t change anything, rich people there will still use credit cards because they offer a better experience - rewards, credit, chargebacks

But in places like eurasia and latam, people are already using stablecoins because their local financial systems don’t work. The problem is they’re using USDT on Tron. That’s where the real opportunity is and where the competition actually matters

no idea how tron x usdt is dominant when the gas fees are orders of magnitude above everyone else, can it be as simple as user education?

The Tron + Binance + USDT trio is strong. The network effects are extremely strong everyone in those regions is using it (merchants, friends, family) and it just works

Base + Coinbase + USDC offers a stronger product by 10x but it's going to take an on the ground effort to overcome the network effects

this model is a trope at this point, get the users addicted to low prices then jack them up

when tron got their foot in there years back they more or less had the lowest gas fees at the time
