Except for Bitcoin, all crypto asset prices are downstream of usage.

Better articulation

Two ways to increase asset prices in crypto:

1. attention
2. usage

Attention is easier but fleeting. Few assets can create ongoing attention. And even in that case, hard to compete with the attention / memetic Schelling Point of Bitcoin at scale.

The way to create ongoing value is transform attention to usage. 

But usage requires apps. Those can be onchain protocols, but likely also need retail / consumer apps to continue to scale.

Attention without usage eventually fades for everything else except Bitcoin. Half-life can be long.

this reads like both an indictment of eth but also in support of it, depending on whether it 1) can continue to be the builder's tool of choice and 2) can break out into retail / consumer

Do you see more potential in financial or non-financial apps?

ETH needs people using apps built on Ethereum.
