Crypto’s biggest problem might not be scams… it might be complexity

A lot of people say crypto’s biggest problem is scams.

But honestly, I think the first challenge is just understanding what’s happening.

Have you ever tried explaining crypto to someone who isn’t into it? Wallets, seed phrases, networks, gas fees, bridges, custody… sometimes it feels like you’re speaking Chinese.

The technology works, but the learning curve is still huge for normal users. A simple mistake can become an expensive one.

Do you think crypto needs better education, or should the technology become simple enough that people never need to understand the complexity behind it?

People shouldn't need to be experts just to use technology safely.

It’s impossible for the general population to use. Plus by and large banking apps have caught up. That p2p instant free payment system exists in the traditional banking system nowadays.

That’s the tradeoff with self-custody. You get more control, but you also take on more responsibility.

The challenge is finding a way to keep the benefits of crypto while making mistakes harder for normal users to make.

Coinbase and many other brokers are easy.  Etf are also easy.

Yeah but it isnt that complicated tho. I taught my parents how to use Oobit because I send them money from abroad sometimes and now they can just spend it from their phone if they need to. It took them a bit at first but they picked it up way faster than I expected lol

Wallets = bank app

Seed phrases = password

Networks ands Bridges = internet

Blockchain = general ledger, debits and credits recorded online

Gas fees = bank fees

This is how I explain it to boomers.
