My main takeaway from @EthCC is that 2025 will be a very good year for coins and if people accept that all blockchain related apps will be financial in some form or the other, they can stop beating themselves up about mass adoption and onboarding blabla unnecessarily

This is true to an extent but a short term take. I think the financial elements are a way to onboard the most likely cohort to try the product first but there are other experiments to run to grow the pie if you divy that first slice out strategically and sustain growth
