the Solana mobile chapter was supposed to change crypto payments, what happened
I remember when the Saga phone dropped and everyone was saying this is finally the moment crypto payments go mainstream. the idea was exciting, a crypto native phone where spending from your wallet is just built in from the start but here we are and I still can't pay for anything meaningful directly from my Solana wallet in real life. the dApp ecosystem grew, the NFT drops were fun but the actual payments use case never really materialized the way people expected.
Maybe the problem was always that the merchant side was never solved. Having a crypto native phone means nothing if the place you're buying coffee has no idea what a Solana wallet is and doesn't care.
I'm curious what people here think, was the Chapter always more of a collector item than a payments device or did it just come too early before the infrastructure was actually ready
