My point about the features you claim have to do with adoption and scale. You don’t need crypto to make a more efficient payment network.

Regarding nano-gpt, that’s already a solved problem. Literally all API platforms support pay-as-you-go credits. I went to your link, and I loved the irony of them asking for a 0.10$ minimum deposit - note the complete lack of crypto rates. That is par for the course for crypto apps, nobody cares what the coin conversion is - it’s just a gimmick.




> nobody cares what the coin conversion is

TBF, that particular data-point tends to have a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" extrapolation, ex:

1. "If sellers only care about what regular currency it can be turned into, that means it has failed as a currency because it's just an intermediate payment scheme."

2. "If sellers don't care about what regular currency it can become, that probably means it has failed as a currency because it's really just a speculative-bubble asset."


Sure, but it’s really easy to list both - even that almost never happens.
