Everyone uses petroleum-based products and infrastructure, but nobody pumps and refines their own oil. “Everyone will be on crypto” is perhaps true in some subtle invisible sense we don’t grok yet, but the way the line is trotted out today it sounds exactly like “everyone will pump and refine their own oil”

everyone also complains about oil while they continue to be ravenous consumers of its products, like a lot of technology. points to something important about stated vs revealed prefs in consumer sentiment
