After 2-3 Years in Crypto… I Still Have Some Big Questions

I’ve been in crypto for a couple of years now long enough to ride through some highs and lows, try out different chains, test a few DeFi protocols, and watch a lot of projects come and go. But even after spending a good amount of time here, I still find myself wondering about a few things, and I’d love to hear what others in the space think.

Here are a few questions I’ve been thinking about:

What are we actually waiting for to push crypto into “everyday use” is it regulation, UX, scalability, or just time?

Do most people really want decentralization, or do they just want better financial access?

Are L2s and alt L1s genuinely competing long-term, or are we going to consolidate around one main ecosystem eventually?

Is there any realistic chance that crypto becomes boring and just “part of the internet,” or will it always be kind of fringe and volatile?

What use cases are you actually excited about right now beyond trading and speculation?

Just honestly curious what others in the community think especially those who’ve been here longer or have seen earlier cycles.

Would love to hear your perspective guys!
