I love UX/tps but they are after all secondary for crypto. "PayPal 2.0" used to be understood as a gibe. Now you hear "PayPal has higher tps!"
UX is key because both adoption (network effects) and usability itself are crucial for crypto tech to achieve its potential for the world.
As a long-time big-blocker I'm acutely aware that you can go too far sacrificing UX in the name of decentralization.
But too much talk of tps loses sight of the fact that Silicon Valley & co have *already* delivered usable scalable tech to the world.
That's not what's missing. What's missing is ownerless, can't-be-evil platforms for unstoppable, truly peer-to-peer transactions.
I believe more strongly than ever that we can have that, *and* user-friendly systems accessible to billions-not-thousands.
But we mustn't forget either goal, by getting too obsessed with the other.
