Ever wonder why crypto folks are so fixated on onchain data?
I mean, seriously—what's the obsession?
Here's the thing nobody talks about: most of the real world isn't even living onchain. Not even close.
Think about where actual value and activity exist:
• Bank accounts holding your money • Payroll systems tracking your income • Email inboxes full of records • Social platforms where you actually spend time
All of this? Off-chain. Completely disconnected from blockchain networks.
So maybe the future isn't just about putting everything onchain. Maybe it's about bridging what's already out there—connecting real-world data with crypto infrastructure.
Because let's be honest: if Web3 wants mass adoption, it needs to meet people where they already are. Not force them to migrate their entire digital existence onto a ledger.

To be honest, being obsessed with on-chain data is just self-indulgence; people don't really care about your block confirmation count.

You are right, on-chain data is indeed a false proposition, it needs to bridge reality.

Damn, this is the key point, it's not just about going on-chain, it has to be usable for ordinary people.

You're right, the on-chain data maniacs really need to wake up.
But thinking about it, the bank's system isn't much better than the chain; it's all a centralized tumor.
The key is that if we really want ordinary people to use it, we need to start from the places they are already using.
