Here’s a pro Base argument I believe: 1. Layer 2s let dapps abstract away the weirdness of crypto (gas sponsorship etc) 2. Base as a Layer 2 can help mainstream dapps succeed by providing: running start on distribution to CB users; on/off ramp ux; wallet ux; etc 3. Success of dapps on Base —> growth of CB users

This is exactly how I see it :) People forget that in crypto most ecosystems will start off looking very speculative or focused on 1 use-case - I mean, even BTC's main use-case for a while was using it to buy drugs. There's nothing wrong with speculation as long as it leads to more sustainable use-cases over time.

This is related to a great insight from @cdixon.eth as far back as 2020 — that short term price speculation in crypto seems to create a “flywheel” that leads to long term application-development. https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkxda-iTv7BtRPwOdDyPW5fF0R-j6NgP3sY
