Neither are realistic
Discussion
One is several orders of magnitude more realistic than the other. Whether that's enough to be realistic overall is an open question, but you can't ignore the discrepancy there.
Most people would be totally turned off by either option. Not only that but it would also give bitchat a reputation for only being for crypto people, much like farcaster.
Have you used bitchat?
Nah, you have to be into crypto to pay for it.
That's how that conversation goes lol.
Maybe in parts of Europe or where have you. But out here in Asia, it's not like that at all. If you look at how the superapps like Line and Kakao are integrating stablecoins, it becomes part of the superapp ecosystem, no "crypto thing" vibes, just US dollars or Japanese Yen that are somehow "digital".
