Pretty presumptuous to assume that we are “uneducated” about blockchain to be dismissive of it, rather than being educated but simply believing that the conditions required for blockchain solutions to be better (for a given utility function) than centralized solutions are actually very rarely found in real-life combinations of scenarios and utility functions. Like reversible transactions: I love that transactions are reversible in the real-world (Even erroneous cash transactions are sometimes reversible through courts) because I know I can fat-finger something.
- programmarchy 6y agoThere’s obviously a cost to reversing transactions in the “real” world. Fees, rates, and courts all have a cost. They can (and are) able to be modeled in crypto as well.
- ponker 6y agoThat cost is by design. It’s important that I can reverse my Zappos order very easily if the shoes don’t fit, while it’s very hard for my employer to take back money they claim they overpaid me.
- dk8996 6y agoMost of the issues are around the UI/UX but these are being solved. I would take a look at metamask and other web wallets that make crypto really easy to use. Web3 websites that have wallet integration built in are actually easier to use than most online credit card forms. Think of it as a Amazon one-click but on every Web3 website.
