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?

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
