Got this nagging thought that won't leave me alone: when blockchain actually hits mainstream adoption—and it will—the final form is gonna be unrecognizable from what we're all debating right now.

Think about it. We're out here arguing over L1 vs L2, PoW vs PoS, which scaling solution wins. Meanwhile the version that actually gets mass adoption? Probably won't care about any of that stuff. Regular people don't know TCP/IP exists but they live on the internet every day.

The crypto that breaks through won't be the one with the best tech specs or the most decentralized architecture. It'll be whatever solves real problems so seamlessly that users forget they're even using blockchain. Just like nobody wakes up thinking "thank god for HTTP protocols" before checking their email.

Wild how we're all building toward a future that might pivot in a completely different direction once actual adoption pressure kicks in. Not saying current work is pointless—just that the endgame rarely looks like the blueprint.
