Coinbase and CoinTracker just released numbers that expose the real friction: 61% of US crypto users don't understand how crypto taxes work. Not because they don't want to pay — 74% know gains are taxable and 65% have already filed.
The actual problem is fragmentation. Users averaging 2-3 platforms means clean PnL calculation is a manual nightmare. The compliance burden is turning retail off before they ever look at a price chart.
Here's the interesting part: nearly half of surveyed users said they'd trust AI to handle crypto tax calculations. 30% would fully automate filing.
At what point does a working AI tax layer become more important for adoption than a $10K price move?

It’s been stalling since 2017, because of the limited throughput. Holding and selling to the next fool is all there is.

There is a difference between people not buying because they do not understand taxes or are scared of them, and people that understand btc and the greater fools musical chairs and just dont want to have anything to do with that.
There is nothing keeping people off adopting. Okay, maybe all the scams and crime, but thats not the point.
There just is nothing motivation people to. Besides aforementioned crime and scam angles the only thing it brings to the table is unregulated gambling and hoping for a bigger fool to buy your bags later. There is no (inherent or other) value, no purpose, no use case that something else does not already provide faster, cheaper, easier and better already.
Without fundamentals there is simply no need for any adoption. No driving factor besides hype, vibes and already mentioned scams. And THAT is the elephant in the room that everyone that makes up reasons why anything is just a single reason to not adopt is pointing away from.
