Both... but also neither. I meant mostly the marketing aspect. Or for a better word, prestige aspect. People really hate crypto as online cash. Examples:
1. Patreon has held a poll about what new features to add [0]. Crypto was the only feature the creators actively voted against. Note that for creators, crypto means one more way to receive money.
2. My anecdote: I was in a discord group where one member commissioned a short animation from another. They're from different countries and the commissioner couldn't use paypal (for some reason) however. I suggested USDT and explained how to convert it from/to fiat.
They ended up using international wire transfer (fee: ~$30).
3. Any HN thread when you mention crypto.

Yup. Wake me up when any of them actually does the amount of transactions Stripe and Shopify [1] do. Real transactions.
> Maybe you mean the regulatory aspect, not the technical?

Seriously, if the whole crypto scene taught us anything, it was that a global transaction network isn't an easy service to provide.
