If crypto needs a killer app, how's that going? Spoiler alert: Not good. 😭 Most of our industry is barking up the wrong tree. In this episode, we explain why.

Today we do a deep dive into the state of application development within crypto. We look at popular crypto applications like exchanges & trading platforms.

This episode kicks off a new mini-series called “Spreading Crypto," where we explore what it will take to bring blockchain and crypto to mainstream adoption. What's holding it back? What strategies will help propel it to the masses? In this series, we answer those questions.

In today's episode, Mick Hagen (CEO/Founder of Genesis Block) takes a deep dive into protocols -- what they are and how they have historically become adopted. Crypto today is mostly all low-level protocols. Will the path to crypto adoption be any different than the many protocols that have come before? Will history give us any clues about the future?
