Builders care about decentralization. Users care about getting from A to B. Those aren't the same thing. @ShiftRWA on why onboarding is still crypto's biggest unsolved problem [Spoken audio]: There's a gap in the distance that needs to be worked out. And I don't think that anybody uses Web2 products while they work, they know, don't know how they work. Nobody cares. It's just a matter of UI and bringing the onboarding to very, very, very smooth steps. I'm not going to say that we've solved everything because we haven't. The real issue is on-ramp off-ramp, and that's the real pain point of crypto. It's always been the pain point of crypto. Once you're on-ramp, you know, you can have some cooler wallets, which are very smooth in UI, your apps, right? The best out there. But they're still not good enough for my mom. let's put it that way, because they haven't solved the on-ramp problem. And I think there are some attempts, like if you look at Moonshot, that's an application on the App Store and on Android, I think it's Jupyter that created it. And they bring meme coins and you can just pay them, pay for them with Apple Pay. There's no mention of the blockchain there. It's very web2 meme coin oriented, right? Think about like an ability to buy any meme coin just with your credit card, right? And that's simplification of that step. So in my eyes that's our job to get web2 users on board and that just requires singlessness. Nobody cares what what blockchain you're working on. Nobody cares about finality time or things like that. I'm sorry to say, right? Because I've been in the space since 2017 and we were very proactive about decentralization and custody and self custody. And then even if you do, it's not the point for the user. they won't onboard because of that. They're looking for their value, which is I guess beyond that. And it's been proven time after time that the people don't really care enough about this. Even if they should, that's a different argument, but they don't. So we have to understand that and we have to give them the products that are easy enough to onboard for any person, not for crypto guys. We're too sophisticated. It's not, we should stop thinking from our point of view that people are onboarded. I had one of my content writers sent in an article and he was mentioning this one, two, three steps and he just, he said, well, why don't you connect well and then buy a shift? And I was like, you're missing something here. Guy doesn't have crypto. He needs to onboard the crypto. That is where he stops. That's where he's stuck. So I'll give you that as food to refresh your heart in that sense. Tell me what you think.
