Founders

Don’t use the term “normie” when describing a non-crypto-native audience if you’re aiming for mass adoption.

It’s a diminutive and critical term. It’s harder to empathize with a group that you “other”.

It has political connotations, which should be avoided in product development.

Just don’t.

If you can’t stop thinking it, you may have trouble empathizing with a massive audience!

What about for the crypto haters. Can we call them truth-averse? Or maybe cartel maxis?

Agree most people don’t mean to use it negatively, but there is a subtle negativity to it that prevents empathy.

I use “crypto-curious” which segments a bit deeper than “normie”.  It’s someone who is aware and interested in crypto, but hasn’t taken action for whatever reason.

What’s a better alternative in your view? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it being used in a negative way myself, rather it just reminds that most things people need to do to access crypto today are competely unreasonable for a normal person without a massive learning curve and to me the joke’s on crypto folks

You can call yourself whatever you like, and I suspect there is a word that describes you better than “normie”.

In general, a statement of what you are rather than aren’t feels more empowering to me

From the ppl in the back:

Can we call ourselves normies? 

I primarily use it to let ppl know that I’m not a dev/engineer/founder

Whatever your decentralized, borderless, neutral, censorship-resistant open blockchain question is, the answer is YES… to Crypto!

I call my friend Eugénie degenie.  She hates it.

Except for norm. You can call him normie.

Could not agree with this more.
