Attended my first￼ focus group for the Ethereum documentary. The audience was new to ￼crypto. Was interesting hearing what resonated for them & didn't. A reminder that no matter how excited we get about the tech, good storytelling & creating an emotional connection is what can help more people understand the space

Censorship resistance requires privacy.

It's intended for a mainstream public so will be mostly people new to crypto

Is the movie meant to explain crypto to those who haven't paid attention to it and don't have a strong opinion, or is the movie meant to stand up to crypto critics? (Or both?)

Yeah there were definitely times where I thought that someone being interviewed￼ ("a talking head") did a pretty good job explaining the concept but then the focus group was like I didn't understand what that person was saying at all￼ (esp those starting from zero knowledge about crypto)

Hear anything that surprised/confused you?

Share a couple anecdotes abt what's normal for crypto natives but doesn't resonate with them?

Can you say more about what resonated? And what didn't?

Would love more anecdotes on this, very cool project. I have some war stories from the LUNA collapse — DM me if you want to add that to your tales.
