So here’s the question: is the future of crypto shaped by Wall Street investors, or by ordinary people in weaker economies who actually use it?
When you say ''ordinary people'', you are referring to the masses in a particular geographic area and as a matter of fact, most people in the developing countries are still poor and fighting for survival so the question is; are crypto assets a means of survival? It is true that a lot of people from the developing countries are investing on crypto assets but how many of them are big investors, just few of them so i still believe that the future of cryptocurrency still lies among those who can comfortably afford them which are the Wall Street investors because they have a fair stable economy unlike those in the developing countries who are using it for survival so most of them will have that survival mentality in the short term and not in the long term (future).
Tbh, that's how it starts everywhere. In the early days in developed countries, it was also just a few "big" (by our standards then) investors. The narrative that it's only for the wealthy becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy if we push it. Yeah, Wall Street is here now, but the original ethos was about giving financial access to everyone. We shouldn't write off the little guy in developing nations they might be the most motivated to learn, hold, and build on it.
