I see your point, and you honestly have one. However, nothing in this world works solely based on logic. How many times have we heard xyz was the more optimal choice but abc won out. It’s because trust and perception are the other equally important dimensions. That said, North America isn’t the only market for crypto. There are many thriving economies in the world with a broken currency. Argentina, to name one, is constantly weighing down by hyperinflation but the sheer grit and talent of locals is keeping the country relevant. Argentinians are always looking for ways to save their earnings without losing to inflation. All that to say, there are still “real” problems waiting to be solved for which crypto can be a solution. In the west though, if it ain’t broke - you know the rest.
