I wonder if paying for crypto tx's (gas) lights up the pain center in people's brains.

How much of cryptos' bad "experience" just comes down to trying to avoid pain?

And the fact that, without a clear understanding of the underlying system, gas can easily be perceived as "unfair", and that almost always creates a pain response in the brain.

Thinking about how credit cards took away a lot of the pain of forking over cold hard cash.

What is the onchain equivalent?

Hmm....
