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.

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.

Just spent the last 10 months building something that solved a lot of problems... no exposure, so no one cares. Bring on the next memecoin to raise 250 million in a presale...

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