I dunno, I'm not an expert but I would presume the majority of people just want personal safety and security for themselves and their families. If crypto gets them that then sure why not.
I saw this, not sure if I trust it, but I also don't trust techbro hype so... wait and see I guess. I am sure there are other examples. I've paid for things in crypto before, but it wasn't out of necessity.
