Ethereum is this fucking phenomenal economic playgroundβthe biggest we'll witness in our lifetime. It's a wild frontier, open to boundless experimentation, but that also means it's a hunting ground for criminals. The real issue isn't just scams or crime (and yeah, I'm not downplaying them to be clear); it's that, after a decade, we've utterly failed to deliver killer applications that the average person actually gives a shit about (if you reply with stablecoins I will report your tweet as spam lol). Crime thrivesβand screamsβbecause it's one of the only undeniable use cases (so far). The tech itself isn't broken; WE are fucking up its application. The systems we build can't float in some idealistic vacuumβthey need to be rooted in social consensus and real-world utility. And so far, we've spectacularly failed to drive mass adoption of anything that truly moves the needle for everyday people.

No, I'm saying that solving eg wallet UX issues won't solve onchain scamming itself. It's about the right use cases that truly matter for the entire world population. I'm biased due to my Cypherpunk ethos, but I would like to see simple shielded transactions (native and tokens) and the rest of the world caring about their privacy. Financial privacy should matter for each adult, globally speaking, thus that's what I want and wish to see as killer application.
