Take everything you think you know about crypto and poop it in the toilet. Shout between the stalls to your neighbor to show your support for their struggle. Light a match to cover up the Taco Bell token you bought earlier. Give a congratulatory hoot when you flush and finish. This is my anti-professional crypto channel. I‘m just a a barely sane dude who fell down the cryptocurrency rabbit hole. This channel is my fumbling attempt to communicate myself outside of my own head about my journey in the crypto space.

Good morning! This Saturday morning I reflect on why people, and often times even myself, can't stand crypto and web3. From rug pulls to bad user experience (UX) design, it seems like we have taken a step back in the name of lofty philosophical ideals of independence and financial autonomy. Web 2 is soooooo easy! But convenience is the tool of those who want total control and power. So how do we get around the difficulty that web3 and the desire for sovereignty bring us? This difficulty has let in the grifters and scammers to prey on those who are having difficulty learning the web3 language and interface. Well, first of all, we need to call it out and admit that we are chasing people away and turning people off with our smug commands to DYOR (do your own research)! After that, we need to figure out how we can make it so ANYONE can use web3. The steps are being laid and the article I read in the 2nd half by Samantha J. Marin of Bankless DAO states the problem and solution in the most accurate way I can think of. Thanks Samantha!
