Re-reading a lot of early crypto writing from @cdixon.eth and others, and one of the themes is that of micropayments being a sizable use case.

Is this still the case in folks' minds?

If so, why haven't we seen it enabled at scale yet? Or have we?

If no, why not?

A combo of still too much user friction and not 10X better that isnt enough to supplant the inertia of current options for consumers or merchants.

I still believe it happens — IMO, i see a cashapp killer for gen alpha that does this combined with user ownership, social, defi,etc

Agreed 100%. Just generally wondering what happened to the use case in the zeitgeist.

Yeah the international vs US market point is an interesting one for sure.

More money/fun/speculation in the areas @cdixon.eth mentioned , and TBH not a big enough pain point for most crypto builders.

Excited for the wave of non-US crypto innovation
