> crypto is entering the plateau of productivity

cryptocurrency will always be a niche product until it can provide the same services and assurances that banks do. Most people overwhelmingly prefer the availability and security from carelessness, petty fraud, and mismanagement that banks provide that they even pay for these services, than the not-entirely-complete protection from state actors that crypto provides. That's what holding crypto back, not regulation.



> the same services and assurances that banks

Cryptocurrency is meant to replace currencies and central banks, not banks (retail). Banks are institutions built on top of currencies (there are a lot of companies doing that with cryptos btw).


I'll bite - how the hell could cryptocurrency replace central banks?

To me it seems like the same logical flaw of any the Unabomber thinking sending mail bombs could shut down all industrial civilization. It not only doesn't make sense but it has no logical connection. It is less logical than thinking one could conquer the US with an army of bowmen on horseback - it makes no sense given the massive disadvantages but an army can conquer at least.

Their actual roles of currencies and central banks are "the medium needed to pay taxes" and pegging the currency ratio to optimize for the economy.

The closest replacement I could see being viable would be the central bank issuing their own as an option and perhaps allowing "instanciating" and "deinstancing" to physical currency.



It's not meant to replace. It's meant to provide an alternative to.
