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?

I feel like crypto wallets and passkeys and identity management all merging is the UX unlock we need to make the next step forward as a digital society. 

Shazow is totally correct in my view: they are all in the same overlap of security and usability needs.

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?
