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

Those deals are funded by interchange % + the % of customers who have a high interest loan.
