But don’t you see that if that number can’t be lifted, crypto will never be capable of doing what it’s theoretically capable of? It’s like being the first to market with some revolutionary product, totally screwing the implementation and adoption and then leaving the population so jaded with the technology that it’s going to have a hard time recovering

I'm not preoccupied by the number (and neither should anyone else). If the number goes down, I'll just acquire more of it (I'm actively doing this as we speak). The point is the ability to transact without worrying about coercion.

The implementation works fine, the people are flawed (and this will always be true).
