I think the challenge with onboarding normies is that there is just way too much to learn. There are too many concepts to understand to use crypto safely. I casted before that I got a hotel in Panama to accept crypto for the first time. I set them up with Coinbase wallet and sent the money there. USDC on base. Pretty easy. But then how can they off-ramp? So we needed to setup a Coinbase account where they could add their bank, kyc, and off-ramp. It got really confusing explaining the difference between a wallet + key vs their Coinbase account + password. They still havenโt even added their bank because it requires 2FA- but there isnโt service here. So they have to leave to go into town to find service just to get their SMS code to initially login to Coinbase. So then I explained passkeys can help with that. Besides even setting up a wallet and an off ramp mechanism, they asked how can they accept more crypto in the future. I had to explain Stablecoinsโฆ

Which means I then had to explain Ethereum vs Base vs Bitcoin vs Fartcoin. They shouldnโt accept any coin from anyone. Stick with stables. So I showed them how to find their wallet address so they can receive crypto. I mentioned they should probably have people only send a small amount first to test since transactions are irreversible. Even trying to keep this as simple as possible I could tell that I lost them. If we can reduce what someone needs to learn to safely send, receive, on/off ramp crypto, I think we could get adoption much higher. But thereโs a ton of things to learn (which probably shouldnโt be necessary at all?) Maybe we can wrap the complexity in a nice app while still maintaining all the great properties of crypto

Would be a huge win for coinbase if they made an all in one normie app: On-ramp USDC only Receive and send Off-ramp Icing on the cake would be using zk for existing KYC similar to how zkp2p.xyz works
