As speculation has faded away in the last few weeks, lasting, sustainable demand has revealed itself. Tron (+USDT) has come into its own, orders of magnitude ahead of any chain not Ethereum. It's a pretty amusing situation, where crypto's greatest consumer product market fit is so embarrassing no one talks about it.

To get an impression of the magnitude we're dealing with... Tron has more economic activity (how I measure it) than all L1s not-Ethereum combined. It has several orders of magnitude greater than stuff like Cardano, Solana or Cosmos. Yet, those projects have orders of magnitude greater hype and narratives. Pretty funny.

In Argentina is pretty common to make payments using USDT on TRC20. Just $1 or less in transaction fee.

what mostly-African + Asian use cases drive $150bn/day of economic activity, that also desperately needs to avoid Circle/USDC? NIBSS does billions per day, M-PESA ~0.7bn per day there's gotta be a discount factor for wash trading b/t Justin's many entities
