after this experience, i reached out 1:1 to a mix of 30 non-crypto people — tech-forward engineers, founders, execs. 85% regarded crypto + blockchain as different. they value blockchain, not crypto. one even said, "when i hear crypto, i immediately think "scam". and people think memecoins will solve our PR issue?

i've been saying this for a while but personally i don't think crypto needs to be pushed to mainstream / have good PR anymore - i actually think quietly cooking behind the scenes is the best thing right now (with mainstream adoption being that the general public are blissfully unaware they're using crypto / blockchain tech in their day to day through abstraction and privy/dynamic etc.) memecoins (and any other narrative tbh) serve one purpose in my eyes - it's a trial by fire for early adopters to either get forged in the flames of crypto hell or spat out never to return idk to me, i see it like this: crypto is culture, memecoins are a currently trending subculture, blockchain / onchain is SEO terminology

additional: just like fashion sometimes you identify with the trend, sometimes u give it a skip but it doesn't mean it's not trending cool usually becomes popular but popular rarely becomes cool imo, memecoins have already peaked and will cease to exist in 3 months (possibly a hot take)

i wonder if people were resistant to the internet at first or wifi it’s just a new form of financial communication ( to me ) but yeah a lot of people not into crypto roll their eyes at it
