I'm a big believer in the @balajis.eth barbell idea: crypto is really good for extremely large and small payments. I think extremely large payments are less frequent, so on total volume / people impacted pov, I would imagine frequent, really small payments is more likely to be something that crypto does well. Also bullish on the idea that AI agents will transact in / prefer crypto.

Base chain transactions cost only a few cents, while most payment SaaS platforms charge a percentage of the transaction amount. There must be a business opportunity for this.

Challenge is most consumers in developed countries already have card payments and that's a habit. Hard to break.

On the other hand, people can do some extra steps to get a better deal (see: airline cards). So maybe Miles&More-like alliance that would give you discounts/free stuff for using onchain payments might work

I think, if consumers were presented an option to pay with card with fees or pay with cash/crypto with no fees (or, at worst, a much-smaller crypto payment processor fee), I think the habit could be broken.

developed countries have better banking tech and will never choose crypto for medium payments. The consumer usage is starting in Argentina (and SEA) https://www.bankless.com/crecimiento-aleph-argentinas-crypto-moment

Taping into tradfi flows would be an utopia. But we could leverage phone wallets and passes to create our own payment solution with open source / hardware POS to get one step closer to trad consumers.
