It's evident that alternative store-of-value is >90% of the demand driver for the crypto industry, and arguably the only demand driver for its dominant asset - BTC. 

Yet, it seems there's very little investment in improving this dominant usecase and biggest success story. BTC remains a ticking time bomb, and aside from BTC & ETH, most crypto assets are high inflation dumpsters (literally, for VCs).

As boring of an answer as it is, for most people there's very little point keeping a store of value on ETH/BTC when stablecoins exist. If you are uncertain enough about your local economy to try out decentralized alternatives, a USD denomination is safe enough.

Expect to see less VC alt L1s and more stablecoins like PYUSD as more and more people notice this.
