I have lots of thoughts on this particular topic. I think part of the reason is an over indexing on building consumer products. We need more infrastructure first. Without that, we're all building and onboarding users without any cohesion and compatibility, or the golden crypto word... composability. defi got it right from the start. they also benefited from not being a very mainstream product in the first place. we have this unique opportunity right now to build an alternate music industry that serves creators and artists and it would be a terrible shame to squander that and not coordinate. Despite saying this, there are a lot of efforts behind the scenes to make this a reality, but front loading adoption as the key metric is shortsighted. Crypto in general was a adopted so easily because it's relatively simple conceptually. Buy/Sell/Hold Token. Something like music can greatly benefit from crypto rails (not just financial), but we're losing users because we won't retain them when there's no real reason to stay beyond speculation. Of course not everything is that black and white, there are many creating unique experiences using crypto, but we should lean into open shared infrastructure and really show what this can do. That's why I got into all of it and that's what keeps me around.
