HA! See. It's programmed in to fear the boogieman. That mindset comes from the steemit days. Splash some cold water on your face dude. That helps me anyway. lol

And yes there are so many challenges. I've been going on about this for years though. Entire articles published every year I've been here, saying some of the same things I said here and under VIMM's post. Meanwhile crypto, in general, has been acting somewhat unappealing (to put it gently) and the average consumer today is far more fearful than years ago.

We're offering legit products though. Not crazy promises. I would never bring these concepts up to a consumer and call it an "investment". Their goal is to support the things they enjoy. Very familiar territory. But as soon as someone starts throwing all that crypto jargon at them, we just lost a customer. Perfect example would be those on autopilot here. Potential consumers, totally absent, and being paid to not look. Streaming can be incredibly successful but it won't work like that, because it doesn't work like that. So there's this massive wall of traditions, culture, common practices here between a solid shot at success as well. web3 is just on cruise control heading for a wall if we can't even get streaming to work right.
