Are we just puppies salivating while we wait for the next bone?

What do you expect for the next cycle?
...and I'm not talking about "price" exclusively. We already know what BITCOIN does, and it will do it again, without a doubt. However, I'm a bit blind on what to expect as "new" for the next cycle.
There have been several ways launched in recent years to attract the masses, Mining, Trading, ICO, Dapps, Leverage, DeFi, NFT, GameFi etc... they have certainly been good "magnets" to attract most retailers and surely We will continue with this type of "creativity", often unproductive, until the end of time. However, despite the fact that DeFi tools may improve, I don't know to what extent new improved projects on the same thing can attract more people in the ecosystem.
This next cycle should be the cycle of use, and by use I don't mean the mere fact of getting a return on your tokens, at this point I think people are more than aware that having an APR of 100% in a casino token only serves you to use it in that same casino.
The effort should, however, focus on daily use, on the purchase of goods and services more than anything else.
The acceptance of BITCOIN payments by TESLA was a great stimulus, albeit short-lived, in the market if you remember correctly.
That is the type of stimulus that we need while, in parallel, we are building a parallel financial system or DeFi but not the other way around in my opinion.
Obviously, it is much easier to take advantage of creating speculative schemes than creating "channels" of use in daily life, this is why DeFi is developing before but the use of BITCOIN in the daily purchase and sale of goods and services is not.

I am not saying that DeFi is useless, I am saying that it is necessary to identify which stimuli are necessary and which can wait for a while longer.

El Salvador made history, I just hope that Bukele enriches his population with the decision adopted. Tesla and Musk did it too, although good Musk lacked the balls to remain strong in his conviction or, perhaps, was it just a mere speculative game to be able to take advantage of his part? I think so, but who knows...
Yes, gentlemen, we need more daring people here, more Michael Saylor's type, less speculative games, and more desire to fix things.
My bet is that the next cycle will bring us more institutional adoption, of strong and daring people, of honest and revolutionary politicians, companies that do not shake their hands when accepting payments in BTC.

It's easy to say but I wish no more LUNA FOMO, no more manipulations in leveraged trading, no more DeFi casinos with nothing else to offer, no more Scamming Exchanges supported by corrupt politicians...

Yes, I know, I ask too much, we cannot avoid the greedy nature of the human being. Corruption will always exist, whether in FIAT or in Crypto, but little by little we will improve the situation, without a doubt.

Speculation will remain at the center of everything crypto no matter what :) I think that is the nature of risk-reward game people are taking part in. As you said, the greed will manipulate but we will eventually move the needle forward. Let's see how that will manifest in the years to come.

Good and bad always go together, we never thought Luna would default, and we never thought FTX would go down. The same will happen in the future or in the next bull run, We need to widen our research to find good project to invest in, that will go good in the near future.
