Experimenting, Fun, DeFi, Consumer Crypto & Ghouls

- A normal person is looking, if they have some spare money to invest or save for a secure, convenient way to earn yield on their dollar. Defi can play a role here, but I doubt you need a $15m seed round for this. Making them deposit into lending protocols might be an interesting angle, but also here we need to understand if an average person is willing to risk this for the few % more they get in Aave compared to their bank.

I'm a strong advocate for the power of self-custody vs centralized banks. But approaching it as a "UX hurdle/problem" is not the starting point. More product and problem based thinking is needed for adoption. Play a meaningful and real role in normal people's live, with products that are useful for them. It has been proven and proven again that clunky UX is not a hurdle if you have a useful product (look up Nikita Bier). Users will go through hoops if it is useful. (2/2)

You should connect with jjor, who shared insights on building DeFi portfolios and emphasized meaningful user-centric products: 'Feels like a deja vu... Stop throwing products at people and think that "UX" is the hurdle! Start with really understanding normal people first.' Join the conversation in the /dev channel.
