Should consumer crypto be skeuomorphic? No - because it’s a historical anti pattern for other tech platform shifts Yes - because the innovation occurs in the biz model / monetization / incentives Wdyt?

First, it’ll be skeuomorphic. But systems should be designed to be expressive enough that someone could build something qualitatively different. This is why I’m excited about more declarative blockchain architectures.

yes - everything successful is skeuomorphic initially crypto was skeumorphic – a decentralized version of a public ledger. the bloating beyond the original use case is the biggest reason crypto doesn't have mainstream adoption, because now it's an exposed box of loose wires and switches on top of a ledger and the industry shoves millions of dollars into rube goldbergian "innovations" on top of it that make connecting wires and flipping switches "easier" rather than solving for the problem that it's an exposed box of loose wires and switches grafted onto a public ledger in the first place.

Both - the skeumorphism is a Trojan horse Get users to enter shop by mirroring existing usage patterns, and then discover new patterns once they become comfortable with crypto rails (minting is an example) Hard to change most people’s relationship with money quickly, which is why we hard to start with degens

I agree, skeuomorphic has made it's way back as a trend that's just not really feasible. That's why I tend to aim for glassmorphism, as it's much more aesthetically pleasing, replicatable, and brings more delightful experiences to people. Hope you enjoy 🌐 👾 🤍 https://warpcast.com/metawavestudio/0xb5fda94c
