Honestly, the vast majority of people don't really care about what a "storage protocol" is.

What they truly care about is one question: will my stuff suddenly disappear?

NFT avatars become inaccessible, game save data inexplicably resets, content I posted gets taken down—these things happen repeatedly. Every time there's a mishap, it sharply reminds users: this stuff doesn't really belong to me. Once this sense of disconnection forms, it's very hard to eliminate.

So, the true significance of Walrus isn't about helping ordinary people understand technical details. Quite the opposite, it's about making it so they don't need to understand those complex things at all.

When your data can exist stably, not stuck in a single platform's limited space, and isn't easily altered at will, trust naturally builds up. Once this trust takes root, short-term marketing narratives can't shake it.

This is the true source of long-term value.
