The trope that crypto mainly needs better UX is off the mark imo UX matters for high frequency, low-margin media-based businesses, which need to be fast and seamless UX doesn’t matter much for sporadic, high-value use cases — prediction markets, governance, wealth transfer

and btw I only realized after the fact that you were in the replies of like 30 tweets 
-
Haha dw I do it all the time. Also I’ve got a few tweets doing well right now so notifications are basically off anyways
-
we take opposite approach to that. when some of my tweets do well I leave notifs on, take the rest of the day off, and soak it all in

It needs to get to a point where it’s not a trade off for it to get mass adoption. Augur is the perfect example of that. Respectfully, the original tweet you’re quoting could not be more wrong.

Replication, consistency, and other guarantees are slower in trustless decentralized architectures. Decentralized fuzzy search is a hard problem. Privacy or anonymity exacerbates it all. The space will improve with time, but there are some fundamental properties at play too

I totally agree. It doesn’t change that the mass market, even the early adopter market for the most part are not going to go through massive UX hurdles to use these products for their decentralized attributes. Augur is a perfect example. The “trope” in question is 100% accurate.

Yeah. Point isn't that what we have right now is fine. I'm saying it'll feel different. A bit more awkward (like BitTorrent is) than a centralized thing. UX hurdles may not be solved by Augur themselves. Maybe they ship the app and hope someone builds http://augur.casino

Yeah I agree with that. And I was hardly arguing that UX isn't important or a differentiator. I'm merely arguing that there's a popular notion that UX is the last piece of the puzzle for crypto adoption. I don't think that's true.
-
Yea, I don’t think UX is the major obstacle either. If people think that’s the case, they are very likely in for a massive surprise (I agree with John’s writing on this). Ideological motivation wont get us massive adoption either.
-
I guess it depends on the decentralized protocol / product in question. I don’t think prediction markets or wealth transfer (both with sizeable / current market) fit the UX isn’t the main problem mold, maybe governance would. Any way how are you bro? Let’s catch up soon
