Which ecosystem will drive crypto mass adoption this year

[Iamcrypticguy]

Hey guys, having a good weekend?. Several developments this year are attracting more people to crypto:

1. Tap-to-earn games on Telegram, like Notcoin, hamster, yescoin, blum
2. ZK proof protocols on Ethereum, improving low fees and scalability.
3. Liquid staking on Ethereum L2 protocols.
4. Inscriptions on network layers.
5. DEPIN projects with seamless onboarding.
6. Integration of web2 and web3, led by Ethermail.

While mass adoption hasn't happened yet, these trends, combined with a potential bull run 2024, could be key.

In your opinion, which of these ecosystems is most likely to lead to mass crypto adoption soon?. And which of them are you familiar with.

[d5000]

ZK proof and L2 protocols are in my opinion the most important ones. Not only on Ethereum, but potentially even in the Bitcoin ecosystem (see this thread and l2.watch).

Above all on the Bitcoin platform there is limited acceptance for projects with centralized elements or founder-benefitting tokenomics. But also on Ethereum this could become a problem, or do we need a new instance of the 2018 ICO scam wave? The challenge is thus to achieve true decentralization in these protocols, and I haven't seen one really achieving that. Most still rely on centralized coordinators. I don't see unsurmountable technical problems for these projects though. So if they can deliver what they promise, I see a potentially massive growth potential.

Web3 and SocialFi are nice buzzwords but I haven't really seen a convincing project yet - convincing for me means one with real use cases. DePIN is interesting but nothing new even if a new buzzword has been invented for it (Filecoin, Sia, Storj, SolarCoin, Gridcoin exist for more than 5 and some even for 10 years already ...) I wonder why it never really catched on and most old DePIN projects rapidly lost traction, so I'm not overly optimistic for the newer ones either.

In my opinion:

1. Bitcoin: going with alts is the default idea now, I think BTC will generally perform better than most. done are the days where every alt will go up in a bull.

2. ZK: we NEED it. when will it be ready is the question (probably not this year)

3. DePin: good concept-wise. same with zk — when will it be ready is the question (probably not this year)

4. Stablecoin usage/payments: the no-brainer category that'll likely grow more and more because it takes away one of the things people don't want with crypto — volatility

[mindrust]

As always it will be bitcoin and its borderless p2p payment feature will be driving adoption.

The other coins you mentioned are just not interesting at all. Telegram is a nice app but it is full of scammers and when I tried to have a crypto wallet on tg, they said I have to do “account identification” if I want to claim my rewards. A bold move for an app that’s known for its privacy features. Brave browser does (or used to do) the same thing. That’s why I never use their “crypto rewards” program.

In my opinion:

1. Bitcoin: going with alts is the default idea now, I think BTC will generally perform better than most. done are the days where every alt will go up in a bull.

It’s very likely that a lot of altcoins don’t go up this year mainly because there are just too much of them and now that there are way too many, people’s interest and opinions are scattered.

2. ZK: we NEED it. when will it be ready is the question (probably not this year)

I agree. I don’t know whether this will be the one to be mass adopted however I hope it is because it will change the game forever. It will enhance privacy and security features. It can also be incorporated not only in crypto but also in other fields as well.

All of those will lie low for sure. That is because every cycle is different and all of those that might pump through the bull run will be lessened after.
I have seen different trends that came to the market and every each of them have dried and never remembered anymore.
They are so quick to be gone out of trend, the hype is too quick to lose.
And that is why, as much as you benefit from thpse projects, do not forget to stack in BTC.

Pretty much. And the general opinion is still that everything will go up in unison — with which I heavily disagree because of the far bigger spread in capital and in attention.

Actually just wrote about this on a short thread a few minutes ago lmao: Topic: Concentrating heavily into BTC

[trendcoin]

Even though I find notcoin and similar games ridiculous, I absolutely agree with the thesis that they contribute to mass adoption and I find it reasonable that this thesis is number 1. People who have no knowledge about cryptocurrencies are getting closer to understanding the working logic of blockchain technology thanks to these ridiculous games. Someone who has never owned a cryptocurrency wallet in their life may have to create one because of Notcoin. I am a person who likes to look at the positive side of things. Even though I find games like Notcoin ridiculous, I want to look at this event from the positive side...

[kotajikikox]

All of those will lie low for sure. That is because every cycle is different and all of those that might pump through the bull run will be lessened after.

I also think the same way.

I mean of course there is a huge chance that many of what was mentioned will see a mass adoption but I do not think it will be maintained forever.

 Maybe some can add something to the community but overall these are all just trends that you  want to catch while they are still very popular.

Take advantage of what is in front and cross the bridge when we get there.

[btc78]

The only one I am familiar with is the tap to earn games which already says a lot about its popularity. I think it catches a lot of people even those who weren’t into crypto in the first place. Of course I still think bitcoin will be the main driver of crypto mass adoption but these tap to earn games may just help a little bit to the cause.

[oktana]

Actually, I completely agree that Tap-to-earn platforms are bringing mass adoption. For instance, I saw the stat on TapSwap AI project and they have so many millions of players with trillion of screen touches. Assuming they want to use the TON chain as they have mentioned, imagine how many millions of wallet would be created, how many millions of transactions that would be made, and how so much people will continue this crypto movement.

All that you mention is just temporary trend especially the tap to earn and the rest of temporary solution on Ethereum blockchain scalability issue which all now that valuation is mere just a hype.

I believe the blockchain ecosystem itself will still be the hot trend like new Blockchain existence that has better feature among other blockchain. Liquid staking, ZK  protocols and othe ethereum shenanigans will surely be forgotten just like DeFi and play to esrn games while blockchain itself will just continuously evolved to better version with this mini upgrades on different blockchain.

Invest on major league not on minor league that deals with specific small issue of Ethereum blockchain alone.

[muncuss]

I am with people here who said it will be telegram or tap apps. It is the easiest method to reach mass adoption. Even it is already happening now. Many said those tap apps going viral in tiktok which everyone from student to government worker in my country play them. And i am not lying. Ton already surpassed ethereum in daily active user.

ZK and other tech may help the blockchain but seriously if even a person doesn't know what a wallet is how can ZK help mass adoption? This is why telegram will help mass adoption because it truly touch the grassroot

If you want a honest answer, I will tell you for free that it's where there is free money and that is tap-to-earn because it creates awareness and makes waves of news through people and even the ones exchange stand to gain from such projects. Look at notcoin for instance, when it was created it made telegram became more famous and on board new users, this also also makes exchanges to make collaboration during the listing because they made people to farm, like stake their own token like BNB to earn such coins.

Other lists that you made mentioned are solid but I think they already had their time from the beginning of the season, like the layer one fever the likes of Optimism and Arbirtrum made people had some airdrops, inscription were total failures because they only lasted for some few months to weeks and died because a lot of people saw them as rebranded NFTs and in the previous, they didn't make any success.

tap apps work sort of like mini games like those hypes surrounding the pokemon game back then, the hypes really resembles each other, I guess on top of playing mini game, getting paid is also one thing that attract many people but man I'm hoping that it won't get trashed if the money they earned from doing the tap tasks aren't up to their expectations, as I've seen lately some people seem to have misunderstanding that they can earn hundred thousand of dollars by doing these games. some of them also thinks the point they get from the game have conversion rate of 1:1 to dollar which is not true at all if you see their whitepaper there will be so many people disappointed in the future but undeniably it has successfully finds its way to the massive adoption.

the entire ecosystem that TON is having is really effective in my opinion, the simplicity I guess is the main point that attract people unlike other defis that requires accessing certain site and then doing tasks here and there the average people just aren't invested enough to do something so complex.
current emerging tapping games could probably become another NOT coin but i expect overly diluted rewards when the active users reached hundred millions.

Your comprehensive analysis of cryptocurrency ecosystem demonstrates a in depth understanding of this emerging instrument of investment. I totally agree with your expert opinion that Web3, SocialFi can potentially drive the next narative of crypto landscape, additionally Artificial Intelligence( AI) and Real World Assets (RWA) also have potential to attract significant investment in these two secotors.

So tap to earn is the new meta. What's your top 5 picks?

[Cadaver20]

I think tap to earn games have gotten the most people involved in crypto this year. It is a revolution. They are very easy and fun to play. So many are playing them as games and slowly getting familiar with crypto. In my area these games have spread like a virus. A lot of new people are playing these and when getting airdrop tokens, they are getting interested in crypto, token, exchange etc.

[wheelz1200]

All these different things you mention won't cause mass adoption. I think crypto is just an evolution of "money".  It will take until we get a generation which has never seen the world without crypto.  Then it won't seem so weird and that will allow for mass adoption.  All of these technology advancements will keep pushing crypto further until that time.
