Ryan Grim on Warpcast

Ryan Grim pfp

ok so I’m seeing that a counter argument is that the money part of crypto is not the leading argument anymore, but it’s the backend tech that will allow for a democratic internet. I’m all for that, but here I am trying to set up a Coinbase wallet and I want to blow my brains out. After jumping through every hoop successfully now it says “something went wrong” and to make sure I have the most updated version. I do. Shoot me. If the tech can’t be used by idiots like me, how is it gonna scale in a world filled with idiots?

@rainbow imo is the best wallet to use. And absolutely the backend tech part is the best part, I'd definitely recommend talking to people like @ferran who's doing really cool real world implication stuff with secure voting

Just use the built-in wallet here on Warpcast for now. It's much easier and that will allow you to do anything crypto related on here

what's possible meets what's available, your experience is totally valid and representative of today. there's this effect of aggregation/disaggregation cycles, where it's easy to make a smooth experience aimed at a narrow use case, but as use cases expand then what worked before is now out of context and breaks, so things start disaggregation to support new use cases at the expense of fragmentation, until new PMFs are discovered then aggregation cycle starts again. ethereum was sorta surprisingly usable in 2017 when all you could do is ape into ICOs, then things got messy, then it was surprisingly usable when all you would do is buy JPEGs, then it got mess again, etc if all you wanna do is buy the next fartcoin, there's dedicated wallets that do it very well, but the ones who try to enable everything well have to work much harder now than ever before, so much work left to do

Coinbase is not leading the charge on usability. Like @purp says go @rainbow. They are also active here on /rainbow and will help you if you need help.

FYI coinbase has been freezing accounts for years. the DEX wallet is different but most new people use only CEXes and don’t realize it’s not their money. even gemini froze my acct i was using just to off-ramp also easy to scam newbies. it won’t scale til it’s forced on people and that won’t be in a good way

Funny counterpoint: I'm team, "the blockchain isn't for humans". I think blockchains will likely serve bots and A.I.s as a majority of chain interactions pretty soon. As humanity gets faster and more mechanized, I think it's a wildly incorrect assumption that the direct users teams need to be building for are humans. Everything from cars to planes are already "fly by wire" where the products are just wrappers over a much larger interface managed by programs. I think your finances are already near if not already at that point. A.I.s and programs will probably be 1000x the size of human actors. The blockchain might not be for you, or anyone else for that matter.

The independent Coinbase Wallet app? Or Coinbase Smart Wallet? (in-browser, passkey-secured) Tbf maybe that question explains part of the problem in the first place 🙃

Yeah, we're soooo far away from being ready for user adoption. My take is that we're getting digital money and wallets either way. We're already 60-70% there! Most ppl's daily tx are digital. Our social lives are almost entirely digital now too. The Internet has become a utility like power and water. The question is do you want tech monoliths to own and manage it for us and trust they remain benevolent (and accept their censorship) as they slowly finish capturing our government systems? Or do you want it to be by the people and for the people (decentralized) where we have checks and balances against the authority structure of these tech companies that are replacing government's role in our lives? https://warpcast.com/trigs/0x15cdcc76

I can't say much about the coin base wallet because I've never used it. But there are other wallet and tech that are so much user friendly and with good UI. I personally think the tech part or crypto shouldn't be tricky as it'll be hard to onboard people, but hey if you need a good wallet, try out @zerion.eth wallet.
