The prosperity of the internet is built on an unassuming foundation—Linux. Data centers worldwide, cloud computing platforms, and smart devices all run on this open-source system, often without most people realizing it. They don't need to know. As long as web pages load instantly and apps run smoothly, that's enough.

The cryptocurrency market seems to be heading toward a similar crossroads.

Looking back over the past few years, the entire industry has been doing the same thing: trying to persuade the public to embrace grand concepts like decentralization, self-sovereignty, and radical transparency. Creators believe these values will revolutionize the financial world. But reality has given a cold answer—the assumption itself is wrong.

**What the public wants is not ideals, but convenience.**

Recent events clearly illustrate this point. When traditional financial giants and internet tech companies entered the blockchain space, what was the first thing they did? They completely abandoned the "cultural attributes" of cryptocurrencies and only took the "technological value." For purists who cling to decentralization, this is undoubtedly a blow. But from an industry logic perspective, this "de-ideologization" is irreversible.

**Cryptocurrencies are becoming like Linux.**

No longer a cultural movement waving flags, but a silent underlying infrastructure. Boring, invisible, and unbranded—just like the servers in data centers.

Look at what is happening: stablecoins are beginning to replace traditional payment networks, public blockchains are becoming tools for cross-border value settlement, and on-chain systems are significantly reducing remittance costs. These applications are genuinely changing the way financial flows operate. But here’s the irony—**95% of users have no idea they are using blockchain technology.** They only see that their money arrives faster and with lower fees—nothing more.

This is a sign that the market is maturing. From ideological battles to the normalization of technical tools, from elite topics to infrastructure. When most people don’t need to understand or even know about it, it means it has already won.
