People keep saying crypto has no utility while actively participating in the utility.



Trading is utility. Capital formation is utility. Permissionless liquidity is utility. 24/7 global settlement is utility. Removing geographic barriers for value transfer is utility.

The part that triggers everyone is this: speculation is the adoption mechanism. It subsidizes infra, it bootstraps liquidity, it funds development, and it pulls talent into the frontier.

If crypto launched without speculation, it would’ve been a dead academic research paper.

The world demands “use cases” while ignoring that money markets themselves are use cases. They only call it innovation when it happens in TradFi.

Maybe the real issue isn’t that crypto lacks utility. Maybe the issue is that people only recognize utility when it’s boring and state-sanctioned.
