Fogg has identified two central use cases evolving within the crypto sphere. The first is decentralized finance (DeFi) solutions that cater to people seeking considerable returns and alternative investments.
The second involves individuals in economies struggling with inflation and devaluation who acquire stablecoins pegged to the US dollar for daily payments and savings.
Daniel Fogg claimed that people in emerging markets are at the forefront of crypto adoption due to various macroeconomic challenges. He is convinced that most people in these regions will encounter meaningful digital banking experiences on crypto platforms in the near future.
People urgently need to protect their income, access US dollars, and secure loans. Countries such as Turkey, Colombia, Nigeria, and Argentina are witnessing these massive shifts. However, such trends aren’t seen in the United States or the UK yet.
He considers emerging markets as a “scale opportunity” for retail finance.
Commenting on Bitcoin’s significance, Fogg highlighted that despite the fact that Bitcoin is a groundbreaking innovation, it’s not enough by itself.
Fogg stated that finding an established use case for billions of users in the crypto domain may take years.
There are numerous possible use cases, including payments, savings, loans, lending, and retail finance. We need to experiment and innovate to get there. If a traditional, conservative mindset about Bitcoin’s capabilities holds us back, it would be detrimental to the world.
In other news, MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor claimed that a recent Bitcoin Ordinals phenomenon sparked a surge in Bitcoin adoption.
