this is irresponsible design, & a perfect example of how poor design decisions can cause real harm.
if a crowdfund doesnt reach its goal, the “donate anyway” button is hidden behind a big button that says “claim refund”.
how much money is sitting in escrow because donors didn’t click “claim refund”?

Interesting POV by /unlonely . love the contrarian take.
my 2 cents of why I don't speculate is b/c I would rather spend that time building or invest in my own venture than coins.
I know plenty of speculators but I do feel their is a sense of systematic fatigue in the ecosystem from not onboarding net new users. the products are too crypto native, spiralling the same set of users.
while this has enabled interesting experiences, it has deterred many regular users who don’t want to think too much when using social platforms.

Controversial opinion: Coinbase wallets may have solved onboarding via pass keys but they have a big distance to cover.
I really hate new chrome tabs opening up everytime i want to do a transaction for e.g.

There was discussion on X today about the “punk heist”, and this post brought up a good point about crypto’s exclusionary nature. (You need dev expertise to properly participate).
Which gives me an idea: what if contracts were treated like REST APIs? That is, documented in a machine-readable way (like OpenAPI specs).
Then users could access dashboards showing all the contracts they’ve interacted with (filtering required, obv), notify them of significant events (like the “shotgun” call in this punk heist), and give them a user-friendly UI with which to interact with the contracts in turn (in this case, to reject the shotgun proposal).
It’s not enough that Etherscan etc effectively let you call contract functions. Even for a dev, doing that’s pretty scary, and in this story, a small mistake caused unintended consequences. I think we can do better. What do you think?
