“....you're systematically not paying enough attention to the weak signals in this market because of personal biases, lack of usefulness in your context, or distaste for anything with a proximity to Crypto.

Like everything in payments, it's slowly, then suddenly."

This is because payments is a 2-sided market: payers and payees build on either side, one attracting the other in a feedback loop, until the speed at which each side is added moves so fast it hits escape velocity.
