what is an actual killer consumer use case for onchain that you think will break into the mainstream/normies for REAL, beyond speculation?

I'm a big believer in the @balajis.eth barbell idea: crypto is really good for extremely large and small payments. I think extremely large payments are less frequent, so on total volume / people impacted pov, I would imagine frequent, really small payments is more likely to be something that crypto does well. Also bullish on the idea that AI agents will transact in / prefer crypto.

My pov: makes lots sense for 1) cross border payments; 2) programmable payments e.g.@sablier

3) Intra-country payments in cases where the local financial system is too corrupted / collapsed 4) Any payments in cases where either the sender or the recipient is using crypto as SoV, which is something that makes sense to do for a number of reasons (eg. also having to do with limited/unstable banking options)

I suspect (4) is a bigger category than (3). The reason is that to use a network to _send_, it has to work only once, but to use a network to _hold_, you have to be confident that it will keep working for a very long time.
