do we think that someone who doesn't know how to use a wallet will feel comfortable sending crypto from an exchange to an embedded wallet? or funding it with a credit or debit card? do we have any data supporting this assumption?

you only have to read warpcast reviews on app store to see that people even hate that warpcast -creates- a crypto wallet for you and think they're gonna get mogged. honestly i think a lot of pipe dreams by marketing dpt's need to be rethought of

curious on that as well but also do people have a problem with funding venmo, cashapp, paypal or any other new fancy app with payments built in?

funding a wallet, yes but they need to see first why the money is needed that’s how i onboarded students into defi and zora

Ideally would be able to try it out before having to deposit money, would be neat to have a tutorial on testnet where they could complete a couple of transactions to get the hang of it and then once they complete it there's a "fund account" CTA that switches them to mainnet and prompts debit card deposit

This is one of the biggest hurdles… out of 50 people I onboarded into crypto maybe four were interested in fully exploring their wallet’s functionality. Most opted to just buy and sell via coinbase app.

People pay with apple pay for random apps/games. I think it's fair to assume they'll be able to download an app, buy something with Fiat or send crypto from an existing exchange/wallet (note: some apps have no tx fees). Think there's a bit of unnecessary barrier built up towards onboarding normies. In 2018 everyone did meetups and tried to onboard "normies" with really shit wallets & essentially nothing to do - and it still worked to some degree, just didn't last. "Normies" aren't stupid. They can click on download, buy, & figure out how to use apps - in fact, many do it better than I & many other crypto bros will ever do because we don't do new apps, tiktok etc. > IMHO crypto wallets got easy enough to onboard people (though there are risks they'll lose money) & apps with embedded wallet should be even easier. Obv crypto terminology can be confusing & a barrier to get an app.

I feel like funding directly with credit/debit is good Asking anybody to do the exchange, KYC?!? , wtf is this address, oh shit I hope it goes through, why is it not here yet, oh shit that was the wrong address etc is negative aura (its better but still clunky) I think the best route is: - Let User pay for something (not buy crypto) - This unlocks a path for them to earn enough to play around - Make them WANT not NEED to figure out the rest
