I’m doing more normie interviews (e.g. ABC, Bloomberg, etc.) now and I’m trying to get non-crypto people excited about crypto apps they might be using in the next 2-5 years. Obvious ones I use are stablecoins, NFTs for tickets, opening up gaming economies. But what are some others I should be highlighting?

Stating the obvious here lol but social media! Farcaster and other blockchain based social networks solve the problems inherent to existing, corporate social media platforms- Difficultly balancing free speech and censorship, prioritizing corporate interests over those of their users, and not allowing the creators who are generating all the value for these platforms to own their audience or their content. When users own their identity and social graph, social network lock in goes away, so apps (like warpcast) have to work harder to retain users.

To play devils advocate, I don’t think non-crypto-folks care about this that much. Compare it to buying concert tickets. Saving the ~30% fee tax is motivating to anyone, they don’t need to buy into any decentralization philosophy.

How do onchain tickets save consumers the ‘~30% fee tax’? The fees added to ticket sales account for the provider (who pays venues a guarantee for exclusive rights to ticket their events), the venue (who charges a fee to help cover COGS), taxes (state, local, and those to offset expenses to pay for new stadiums, roads, etc), and anything the band/team/promoter chooses to charge buyers. Where do you envision blockchains reducing or removing these fees from ticket sales?
