Is there a better word than "normies" to describe people who have never done anything in crypto before? I am building Base Colors with the intent of making it appealing, accessible, and affordable for normies but I don't love the word so I've instead been saying "people who have never done anything in crypto before".

@fredwilson.eth shot in the dark but as a master communicator maybe you have a suggestion here? I'm sure it would be helpful for you to use as well. Or maybe you are fine with "normies".

"first-timers" may be my top alternative as of now. Thanks ChatGPT. "crypto newbies" or "crypto rookies" not terrible, but idk, don't love them.

I think the reason I dislike "normies" so much is because I feel calling someone normal is about as offensive as it gets. And I'm not one of those people who is easily offended or thinks many words are offending. But to call someone normal is like calling them an NPC to me. Base Colors is pro-different, not pro-normal.

Funny, the bots might actually have some decent suggestions in the replies here.
