My main takeaway from @EthCC is that 2025 will be a very good year for coins and if people accept that all blockchain related apps will be financial in some form or the other, they can stop beating themselves up about mass adoption and onboarding blabla unnecessarily

Disagree. In fact I think the focus is shifting away from coins long term. Affordances of tokens are being unbundled into many discrete functional patterns that are collectively more expressive. Tokenomics is likely an evolutionary dead end of fiat skeuomorphic design outside of the infrastructure layer.

The basic idea of a token is skeuomorphic to “coins” and “notes” in currency.

They’re not necessary. You can unbundle into transaction flows.

Curious to hear more of your thoughts on why tokeneconomics are skeumorphic to fiat?
