If progress waited for the people who resist change, we’d still have horse watering stations instead of gas stations.

Think about that for a second. When the car showed up, there were people who said it was too complicated. Too expensive. Too unreliable. Horses had worked for thousands of years — why change? The car didn’t care. Right now there’s a whole crowd saying crypto is too complicated. That normal people don’t want wallets. That banks work just fine. That we should hide the blockchain so it doesn’t scare anyone. These are the same people who would’ve voted to keep the horse. I just sent money across borders in USDC on Solana. It arrived before I put my phone in my pocket. Cost me less than a cent. No bank approved it. No intermediary took a cut. No business days. No forms. Meanwhile SWIFT — the system the financial world tells you is “how international money moves” — takes up to 5 days and eats up to 6% of your transfer in fees. One of these is the horse. One of these is the car. You don’t have to like it. You don’t have to understand every technical detail. But the road is already being built. And it’s not being built for the people still looking for a place to water their horse. submitted by /u/Responsible-Chest377 [link] [comments]
