- Transactions on L2s are cheap and fast
- Account abstraction wallets are easy for anyone to use
- Stablecoins offer low volatility

Can you point me to a product that takes all of this and uses it for a fully-fledged mainstream product?

Ethereum? 🙃

I mean what specifically is missing? There's tons of services using various Ethereum infrastructure for p2p payments.

I'm guessing you want to see more things like Gnosis Pay?

Which app should I introduce my non-crypto native friends to as a global alternative to Venmo?

I don't think the "app" metaphor maps on as cleanly as maybe you'd like?

In my mind, it's kinda like saying "which website should I introduce my non-internet friends as an alternative to fax?"
