Most people never entered crypto for the same reason they never entered tech early:
They thought they were too late.
Bitcoin ran hard? Missed it.
Ethereum took off? Missed that too.
All they see are numbers that feel out of reach.
“Crypto is for early people. Rich people. Technical people.”
But what if that entire worldview is wrong?
What if the real entry point wasn’t buying anything at all?
What if the next wave of crypto adoption isn’t investors…
but participants?
Base is the first chain built with that idea in mind.
The moment the iPhone dropped, tech stopped being something you had to understand.
It became something you could just use.
That’s the shift Base is creating right now.
Instant transactions.
Invisible fees.
One app that handles everything from money to identity to social.
Crypto has talked about “mainstream adoption” for 15 years.
Base is actually building it.
Ask the average person why they’re not in crypto.
The answers haven’t changed in 10 years:
“I don’t understand it.”
“I don’t want to lose money.”
“I’m too late.”
“It’s complicated.”
Base removes all four excuses.
Because on Base, you don’t buy your way in — you participate your way in.
You can literally earn crypto by:
Posting on Farcaster
Writing on Paragraph
Creating mini-apps
Earning badges
Using new apps
Exploring the Base App
This is the first ecosystem where you don’t need capital to become part of the network.
Just activity.
Crypto used to feel like:
slow
expensive
scary
irreversible
Base feels like:
Instagram speed
Venmo cost
Reddit simplicity
iPhone onboarding
16.1 million daily transactions.
18.5 million active addresses.
$5.3B TVL.
2-second full blocks.
200ms micro-blocks.
This is not a finance chain.
This is an internet chain.
Base isn’t alone — it’s plugged into:
the OP Superchain
Solana via open bridge
Coinbase Wallet
USDai
AI protocols
JPMorgan’s deposit token
Ripio’s stablecoins
This means the average user will touch Base without even knowing they’re “in crypto.”
Just like people use the internet without knowing what TCP/IP is.
Right now, early creators are discovering something the rest of the world hasn’t realized:
Base is the first chain where your content is your entry point.
Write → Earn
Post → Earn
Build → Earn
Cast → Earn
You don’t have to be a degen.
You don’t have to gamble.
You don’t need trading skills.
You don’t need to be “early” to BTC.
You just need to show up.
This is why Base will onboard the next 100 million people —
not through exchanges, but through creation.
People think they missed crypto because they didn’t buy Bitcoin early.
But in reality?
The next wave of opportunity is NOT financial.
It’s social. It’s creative. It’s computational.
Base is building the rails for:
creators
communities
builders
writers
gamers
AI agents
normal people
This isn’t “get rich quick.”
This is get involved naturally.
The iPhone didn’t need to be explained.
Base will feel the same way.
Base is quietly proving they’re early.**
