after this experience, i reached out 1:1 to a mix of 30 non-crypto people — tech-forward engineers, founders, execs. 85% regarded crypto + blockchain as different. they value blockchain, not crypto. one even said, "when i hear crypto, i immediately think "scam". and people think memecoins will solve our PR issue?

i've been saying this for a while but personally i don't think crypto needs to be pushed to mainstream / have good PR anymore - i actually think quietly cooking behind the scenes is the best thing right now (with mainstream adoption being that the general public are blissfully unaware they're using crypto / blockchain tech in their day to day through abstraction and privy/dynamic etc.) memecoins (and any other narrative tbh) serve one purpose in my eyes - it's a trial by fire for early adopters to either get forged in the flames of crypto hell or spat out never to return idk to me, i see it like this: crypto is culture, memecoins are a currently trending subculture, blockchain / onchain is SEO terminology

i wonder if people were resistant to the internet at first or wifi it’s just a new form of financial communication ( to me ) but yeah a lot of people not into crypto roll their eyes at it

being resistant to change is literally everywhere in human nature 😭 and adoption pretty much always takes on the same process of 'nothing, something then everything all at once' happened with cars, dvds, smartphones and like u said, internet currently happening with EVs tech improves -> barrier to entry reduces -> mass adoption most people just don't care enough to take the time to go and understand things, so find it easier to just dismiss and carry on with 'their more important things' in life
