what is an actual killer consumer use case for onchain that you think will break into the mainstream/normies for REAL, beyond speculation?

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.

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.

Onboarding is an issue - always has been. It’s too clunky to set up wallets / CEX accounts etc. For many it’s worth paying that card fee to simply avoid the initial steps involved with crypto (not to mention they’d pay similar fees to get money off the cex in the first place).
