You know how physical products offer satisfying clicks, thunks, snaps and other manifestations of asymmetric physics phenomena (potential wells, clean fractures, melts)? I’ve always felt virtual products try hard but never hit it. Skeuomorphism lacks substance of asymmetric phenomena. But crypto transactions hit it.

what helps is that we believe crypto transactions are actual money transactions, it’s not skeuomorphic, money is real when you believe it’s real., so the experience of transacting is real. as we believe banknotes represent value - think of stagecoaches driving through the desert with stacks of paper being robbed.

That does nothing for me. It’s the knowledge of irreversible commitments. Signatures and other tx with no money do it for me too. As does trad stuff like ssh with a key pair
