Crypto has built strong adoption loops but still needs real-world utility beyond NFT hype. The speaker points to Archive as an example of a project offering tangible benefits, like gaining access to curate a museum, that could bring mainstream users into crypto.
What crypto has nailed has been participation, and it's been adoption flywheels in a really interesting way. It's yet to ground itself in this security of the real world. And I think the moment we shift from being able to realize all these great things we were talking about is when there's the projects that can kind of ground these things in the real world and have it be a pathway for people to understandably get involved with it, with something that they understand, where it's not just like a pixelated profile picture of a monkey or something like that, but it's something that's saying, oh, wow, that's a really interesting way. This is something that, for example, is giving me access to something like curating a museum, for example, that I'd never had the ability to do before. And I'm, I'm super bullish on this space of projects that are able to consider what this like middle ground is that pulls in the next million people. And I think Archive is really well positioned.
