Currently most people use crypto for investing and degenerately gambling on meme coins. There are few consumer orientated applications that have been able to attract a large number of users. What consumer applications does r/cc think will reach mass adoption?
I think the following consumer applications could achieve masse adoption:
1. Social media - Farcaster
2. Onchain ticketing – Open Ticketing Ecosystem (formerly known as GET protocol)
Farcaster is a decentralized social media protocol created to enable the development of decentralized social media. It tries to disrupt and current social media by providing a web2 users experience built on a user-controlled Web3 infrastructure. I believe that there is potential for a more censorship-resistant social media. According to Dune dashboard linked below it already has 230k users

1. On-chain ticketing – Open Ticketing Ecosystem (formerly known as GET protocol)
Open Ticketing Ecosystem (OPN) provide partners with a global on-chain ticketing infrastructure. 15 To date 15 ticketing have integrated OPN, together they have sold 5.5 million tickets on-chain. The benefits of on-chain ticketing are:
1. Preventing fake tickets and scams – Blockchain provides a trusted source to verify tickets for organizers and buyers
2. More data for event organizers of the lifecycle of the ticket – event organizers can easily track secondary market sales onchain
3. Event-financing – event organizers could leverage DeFi to receive funding for hosting events
4. Enhanced Fan Engagement – Artists and organizers can issue digital collectible to increase the fan experience of the event. For the F1 Dutch GP event attendees received a digital collectible of a piece of the track
