We talk so much about PoS, ZK-Rollups, and sharding that we forget the essential: talking to people.
Your mother uses WhatsApp without knowing what a server is.
Your uncle makes mobile transfers without knowing what an API is.
Yet, they use them. Every single day.
THE BIG MISUNDERSTANDING
We presented crypto as a technical exam, not as a daily tool.
❌ The wrong approach:
« Learn asymmetric cryptography before sending $10 in BNB to your brother. »
✅ The right approach:
‘Download Trust Wallet. Keep your recovery phrase. Scan and send. End of story.’
THE BARRIER IS NOT TECHNICAL, IT IS EMOTIONAL
The number 1 fear is not complexity. It’s:
1. The irreversible mistake (sending to the wrong chain, losing your seeds)
2. The intimidating jargon (‘gas’, ‘non-custodial wallet’, ‘bridge’)
3. The shame of asking (‘I’ll look like a noob’)
OUR COLLECTIVE FAILURE
We train blockchain engineers. Not users.
REMEMBER YOUR FIRST TIME
· Your first purchase on Binance (‘Will my money arrive?’)
· Your first transfer to a wallet (‘Did I copy the address correctly?’)
· Your first on-chain transaction (‘Why are the fees so high?’)
You were scared. It was normal.
Then the 10th time, it was routine.
⏳ CLIFFHANGER :
But then, how do we really democratize usage?
How to explain to your mother that she can receive an NFT without giving her a lesson on Ethereum?
The answer in Part 2, tomorrow.
In the meantime, share in the comments: what was YOUR biggest apprehension during your first crypto transaction?
