99% of devs using crypto today explicitly sought out to make a "crypto" app. Very few began with a problem and ended up using crypto behind the scenes because it solved that problem best. We're a hammer looking for a nail, and we need to flip that

I agree, but there's another layer to the equation. Regardless of solving a problem, if you don't have an audience, you're dead, no matter how helpful your product is or what problem it solves. Today seems more about exposure and influence than actual merit.

Exposure with no merit doesn't last. Great products gain an audience by helping users, and the users stay because the relationship is symbiotic.

I agree... but people are more interested in sending their money to a wallet owned by some guy with a sloth image than spending time to learn about a protocol that solves problems. People like you and I, we'll learn and appreciate, but the general public has the attention span of a goldfish looking at something shiny.

You shouldn't have to learn about a protocol to use it, that's the point I'm making. Millions of people rely on SQL every day yet have no idea it exists.

By learning, I mean awareness. Crypto projects need awareness to succeed regardless of merit. Merit is important for longevity, but awareness and exposure Trump merit. You could have the best burger in the country but if no one ever eats one and you have no way of generating customers, you're toast
