What We Need For Mainstream Adoption and Can We Except It?

Feels like prediction markets are more about onboarding flow and UX right now, while sharp books like Bet105 or Pinnacle stay focused on price efficiency. I think both can coexist but for serious edge? Still hard to beat tight pricing and no KYC setups for me at least
I like testing different wallets and flows to see what sticks. Best Wallet stood out when I compared setup time and backup steps across a few options. I keep notes on UX, fees, and recovery clarity, since small friction points can matter later if I need to move funds quickly during real use cases in my experience often enough overall.
BitBox02 is the current sweet spot for the balance between UX and open-source security. Blockstream Jade is the best budget alternative if you want a camera for air-gapped setups. Only go for Coldcard if you’re a power user who wants zero compromises and is willing to handle a higher learning curve
Fair question — let me clarify what I mean by “the system.” By system I mean Bitcoin as a monetary network (rules + issuance + settlement), not the stock market. Berkshire was just an analogy to show that participation doesn’t require owning a whole unit — probably not the best example here, my bad. You’re right that merchant acceptance drives payment adoption (credit cards, POS, etc.). Bitcoin adoption actually happens on two layers: • Payments/settlement → driven by UX, fees, rails (Lightning, custody, etc.) • Savings/monetary adoption → driven by credibility, predictability, and scarcity High price or scarcity doesn’t make people swipe BTC at Starbucks — it makes them trust it as a long-term monetary asset. That’s closer to how gold adoption worked than how credit cards spread. Fiat doesn’t need scarcity because it’s enforced by law and taxation. Bitcoin has no issuer or legal mandate, so credibility has to emerge from hard rules + market consensus over time. So price isn’t the cause of adoption — it’s a signal that the network’s monetary properties are being valued.
Lightning is clutch but the UX is still pretty rough for normies tbh, most people just want to hit send and not worry about channel liquidity and all that
I think on-chain neobanks are underestimated, but not because they’ll “replace banks” overnight. The key difference is that they’re not just fintech apps sitting on top of legacy rails. Their core settlement layer lives on-chain, which is a structural shift: 24/7 payments, instant finality, fewer intermediaries for cross-border transfers, and much lower operating costs. That said, banking isn’t only a tech problem. Regulation, trust, UX, and integration with the existing financial system (salaries, taxes, credit) still matter a lot. That’s why I don’t see pure on-chain banks fully taking over in the short term. The most likely outcome is a hybrid model: blockchains become the underlying financial infrastructure (settlement, payments, programmability), while user-facing layers and compliance evolve gradually. Similar to how the internet didn’t kill companies but changed how they operate, on-chain banking probably won’t eliminate banks — but it will force them to adapt.
Onchain games feel more like experiments than magic formulas to me. Best Wallet let me test interactions quickly, which helped me understand friction points. I focus on UX, costs, and fun, since in my experience those basics decide whether games stick more than any claimed secret sauce.
Building a wallet extension pushes you to think about UX, signing flows, and threat models. Best Wallet stood out when I tested similar features, mainly around onboarding and recovery. I liked some choices, questioned others, and took notes. In my experience iterating with real users can surface security gaps early. It may help refine permissions and error handling over time.
For Solana long-term, I see a few real pros and risks: * **Pros:** insanely fast UX, cheap fees, and real usage (NFTs, DeFi, consumer apps). It’s one of the few chains where non-crypto people actually stick around. * **Ecosystem depth:** dev activity and tooling are strong, and a lot of teams build *only* on Solana, which helps network effects. * **Risks:** hardware requirements and past outages are valid concerns. It’s improved a lot, but decentralization vs performance is still a trade-off. * **10-year view:** survival matters more than hype. If Solana keeps shipping and attracting users, it doesn’t need to “kill Ethereum” to do well. In my case, I treat it like a high-conviction but not no-risk L1 — not all-in, but not ignoring it either.

Just wondering if anyone's used these in practice?

You’re confusing reduced attack surface with eliminated risk. Online banking is “more secure” because it is custodial, reversible, insured, and backed by fraud teams. When users get compromised, transactions are rolled back and losses socialised. That model does not exist for Bitcoin. One mistake is final. Best practices like cold wallets and address hygiene already exist. They have for years. The fact that they are still routinely ignored proves the point. Security advice does not equal security outcomes. Markets do not force humans to be more competent. They force abstraction. As systems get more complex, users rely more on UX, intermediaries, recovery flows, and trust signals. That is exactly where social engineering thrives. Regulation and banks backing Bitcoin does not make users safer. It pushes them toward custodians, which simply reintroduces the same human and institutional failure modes Bitcoin was designed to avoid. This is not about emotion. It’s about threat models. Proof of work defends consensus. It does not defend people. Dismissing that gap is not optimism. It’s wishful thinking.
Post is by: Thedevonm08 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pqufzw/whats_the_best_cryptotoreallife_use_case_youve/ I’m tired of “utility” that only works on a whitepaper. I mean a crypto-to-real-life use case where you actually paid for something, moved money, got paid, or solved a boring problem… faster/cheaper than TradFi. For me, the winner is **stablecoins**. Why? Because the pain is real: * Remittances can eat \~6%+ in fees on average, and much higher in some corridors. * Stablecoins have quietly become massive payment rails (TRM estimated >$4T in stablecoin transaction volume Jan–Jul 2025). * Even Visa is pushing stablecoin settlement with USDC for institutions now. That’s “crypto” doing the unsexy job: moving money 24/7. **Quick story:** a friend in Nairobi did a freelance gig for a US client. Bank wire would've taken days + surprise fees. He got paid in USDC, cashed out locally, and was buying groceries the same afternoon. No drama. That’s the bar for me: fewer steps, lower fees, and less “please hold” energy. If a use case needs three wallets, two bridges, and a Discord mod, it’s not real life yet. Same filter for any presale crypto coins or ai crypto presale: show me users, not memes. And if it breaks when gas spikes, adoption dies instantly. Simplicity wins. Period. **Other real-world use cases I’ve seen** ***actually stick***\*\*:\*\* 1. **Getting paid globally** (freelancers, creators, remote teams) without waiting 3–5 business days. 2. **Everyday spending** via crypto cards / Apple Pay bridges (it’s basically an off-ramp with better UX). 3. **On-chain receipts** for tickets, loyalty, and memberships (less fraud, easier resale rules). 4. **Tokenised real-world assets** (still early, but the direction is obvious). I also browse the occasional **crypto presale** / **crypto presale list** to see who’s trying to connect crypto-to-real-life. Recently I came across **DigiTap Presale**: their pitch is an “omni-bank” style app with crypto + fiat wallets, plus virtual/physical cards that work with Apple Pay and Google Pay, and a $TAP token tied to rewards/buybacks (not affiliated, DYOR). Not financial advice. Just curious. No shilling, please. **So I’m curious:** what’s the best crypto-to-real-life use case you’ve personally used (or seen someone use) that made you go, “okay… this is real” — and why is it a crypto-to-real-life use case worth copying? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

If you’re okay with Solana assets, Solflare’s been solid for me smooth UX, no weird extra fees, and USDC/USDT on Solana works great. For full top-50 coverage you’ll probably still need more than one wallet though.
just tried with 0.2 btc and went smoothly, I hate the UX tho but it doesn't matter much I guess x)
On-chain apps still expose more system state than Web2, which changes UX expectations. Web2 hides latency and finality, while on-chain forces users to understand transactions, settlement, and state changes. What’s interesting is how newer apps reduce this gap through faster settlement, fewer signing steps, and better frontend abstractions, without fully hiding what’s happening under the hood.

Sure, it's not a great situation. But with some basic UX considerations the transition doesn't have to be terrible for users. They shouldn't need to move wallets, the wallet just needs to add the post-quantum features and then prompt the user about moving their balance to the new wallet/address type. The burn vs let-them-get-compromised decision for old addresses is a tough one, sure. I'm not sure we're fucked in either case though. Burning all non-QT-ready funds would be a huge decision, but I'm not sure you could argue it's a slippery slope, and if we're able to set up the schedule years ahead of time then who's going to complain? Letting the funds get compromised would probably be the harder to recover from, but even a sudden flood of millions of coins onto the market wouldn't necessarily kill BCH. BCH has dropped below #30 in market cap before, but it's clawed its way back up to 11. It's got a dedicated community of early bitcoiners and recent adopters who recognize its unique value proposition compared to any other crytpocurrency. We'll see!
The whole industry kinda tends to be slow when it comes to UX lol
Yeah... you're right. UX has been a problem. That's exactly why I didn't start developing on the platform years ago. It was completely overwhelming. Understanding parachains is a lot harder than understanding how to dev against the EVM. However, Polkadot is evolving. The focus, for a long time, has been on developing a solid platform. Most of those massive improvements will be wrapping up next year and the focus will be shifting from platform to products. There's a lot happening to improve the developer and user experience right now and it will pick up steam next year.
It went to 53 and never recovered. Problem is UX is abysmal
I like the feature set of Sparrow more. Specially the SeedQR stuff and the UX.
No, you said that BTC was restricted to the BTC network and asked how it is different, and they are replying to you. - If I am in Mogadisciu and open a bank account with a local bank (requiring me to go in person, provide my ID, possibly pay fees, and wait several days to get a debit/credit card) - If I am in Mogadisciu and create a Bitcoin wallet, it takes less than 5 minutes and I am setup. When I make/receive a transfer: - The bank is going to check whether they allow the origin or destination bank. Most likely (at least in my bank in Germany and Spain) I need to pay extra for an instant transfer. And a regular transfer will not go in during weekends. If I want to transfer 200000 there is no way I can do that unless I provide my bank with additional information. When I bought my car, and needed to pay/transfer 14000€, I had to do it in person, from 9 to 2pm, at one of the bank offices. - With BTC, nobody is going to check anything. I can make the transfer from home while having a coffee. I can even send money to a wallet that potentially “does not exist yet”. Of course, both sides are biased. On the crypto side, there is still a big technical barrier to understand and profuciently use the system. If you don’t double-check, you can just lose your funds and no entity can help you revert that. You can lock yourself out of your wallet, forever, too. The network is slow AF and it only works with small fees and high speed via sidechains and other systems, which - as has been stated - can take several days to settle. But the truth is, on a good day, and if the UX is simpler and settlement is quick (or you don’t care), you can indeed send 200k$ with under $1 fees, no questions asked, while preparing a coffee.
No it means you probably sent 15k$ worth of BTC from multiple wallets alias utxo's. You didn't know what you were doing. It's bad UX that many wallets don't try to keep utxo's small but yeah, at the end it's you who can consolidate on fewer utxo's. Of you dca buy like every month or every week you can have 12 or 52 utxo wallets from which your 15k$ amount is built from.
Metamask might be cloggy. Try Rabby wallet instead. Clear UI/UX and a bunch of cool features
Honestly, **Coinbase**. Super simple, good UX, and great for quick checks or small buys. It just works without any friction.
Post is by: Julia_Vin and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1pjvwvy/is_60_seconds_enough_to_predict_the_market_or_is/ I’ve been building a little experiment on Solana and figured I’d share it here for anyone who likes prediction / degen games but hates opaque rules. # The idea It’s a simple, on-chain prediction game — 20 rounds, UP or DOWN each time. * Each round you answer one question: **Will this asset be UP or DOWN in the next 60 seconds?** * You choose your stake: **0.01 / 0.1 / 1 / 10 SOL** * If you keep winning, your payout scales — up to **20x your stake** and (theoretical) upside up to **1B** if you run it all the way. # What makes it fair (or at least transparent) * **Fees: 0%** — you only pay normal Solana network fees. * Prices come from **Pyth oracles**. * Rounds start, lock, and settle automatically. * No human intervention, no “house decision,” no off-chain magic. # How to play 1. **Log in / generate a wallet** It’s non-custodial — I never see or control your keys. 2. **Pick your stake**: 0.01 / 0.1 / 1 / 10 SOL. 3. **Pick an asset**: I’ll rotate between steadier stuff like BTC and spicier meme coins. 4. **Choose UP or DOWN**, then the round locks for 60 seconds. 5. **Settle**: Pyth gives the price → the contract decides win/loss and moves you up or ends the run. # The 20-round ladder * There are **20 rounds**, from 1x up to 20x. * Predict right → you move to the next round. * Predict wrong → that run ends and you lose that stake (unless a checkpoint saves you). * You can **cash out at any time before starting a new round**; you’re not forced to go all the way. # Safe checkpoints (your “extra lives”) There are **checkpoints at rounds 5, 10, and 15**: * If you bust after passing a checkpoint, you can **respawn once per checkpoint** * Respawn cost: **2× your current stake** * Respawn puts you back at that checkpoint instead of starting from scratch. It’s not financial advice, not a trading edge — just a transparent, on-chain prediction ladder for people who want to test their instincts (or their luck) in short bursts. If you want feedback on the rules, UX, or risk/reward balance, I’m honestly more interested in that than pure volume. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

It would be the same argument as stablecoins, which are already seeing broad interest and adoption from TradFi and institutions. It’s fine not to be convinced now, that’s nobody’s job on Reddit. The business proposition has to be there. But improving the rails matters even if the UX on top looks familiar: you can still have reversibility and consumer protection while also getting shared, auditable infrastructure, faster and cheaper settlement, easier interoperability between platforms, and automatic, transparent distribution of things like fees and yield Again only time will tell and there is a lot of non-grift momentum and investment behind this from real institutions. Our current rails are extremely old and do present real limitations on finances
>lack of meaningful progress Because nearly all the development has been infrastructure focussed, the people who notice the progress are devs, and on that front the progress is amazing. Privy authentication is an absolute Godsend. Cheap blockspace is everywhere, Chainlink's whole offering is amazing... Users take for granted how smooth it is to onramp crypto to Polymarket, how smooth it is to trade on Hyperliquid with Smart Wallets/Account Abstraction, but just go back a few years and the entire UX and toolkit was primitive compared to today. Yes, there is a lot of room for more good apps to leverage those tools. Let's build them!
I was super excited about crypto and blockchain but after seeing all the grifts, scams and just the same old shit on repeat, im over it. The UX experience is still terrible, very few projects seem to be geared for normies, it's pathetic. Blockchain will continue to rise but crypto is dead imo
I mean... Nano has been doing instant feeless transactions for about a decade. No supply inflation. Decentralized. Incredible UI/UX. It's literally the best payment method on earth. If you care so much about utility why aren't you using it?
Nice, finally some actual utility instead of just hodling and hoping for moon. Prediction markets could be huge if they nail the UX
Thanks so much for signing up and taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback! You make a fair point about the USD purchasing power chart. It's definitely preaching to the choir for most Bitcoiners. I included it mainly for newcomers who might not yet grasp why holding fiat long-term is a losing game, but I hear you. Great catch on the date picker. That's frustrating UX on mobile. I'll look into adding a year dropdown or letting users type the date directly. Appreciate you flagging it. Love that you're thinking multi-generationally. That's the real Bitcoin mindset. I'll check out https://www.thegreekchain.info. Multi-sig inheritance planning is exactly the kind of thing more Bitcoiners need to think about. Thanks again for the kind words and the constructive feedback. Cheers!
No one can time the bottom, but ETH has strong long-term fundamentals — and the upcoming Fusaka/Osaka (Pectra) upgrade is expected to improve performance, efficiency, and staking UX. If you believe in Ethereum’s future, DCA (buying small amounts over time) is still the safest strategy instead of trying to catch the perfect dip. Crypto is volatile, so only invest what you can hold through swings. Not financial advice — just a realistic. https://cryptolaya.com/ethereum-fusaka-hard-fork-goes-live-lower-l2-fees-higher-gas-limit-massive-scalability-boost/
It's the cost of being your own trustless bank. You have to do some verifications. Adoption is important, and every step that improves the UX should be taken, but ultimately, trustlessness and verifiability should never be compromised. There are many ways to skin a cat, and many ways to verify that a Bitcoin wallet is secure, this is one of them. The benefit, of course, is that you significantly increase the control you have over your own money.
There is a lot of competition / platforms in the perps space, but QuickSwap is really standing out because the perps platform is exclusive to Base, offers a very smooth UI/UX for traders, and we have a points/rewards program currently live with rewards in QUICK tokens. Plus more to come.
Cardano has quite possibly the worst defi experiences I have ever seen - running nodes, developing smart contracts, wallet UX flow, trading protocol extra fees (batching) There is no reason to use Cardano
That was the first time I clicked a Forbes link in years and it will be the last. JFC, what a horrific bombardment of ads and comically bad UX. Connect my wallet? To this cancer? Are you for real Forbes?
I agree that the inheritance/multi-sig aspect of bitcoin is one of the main learning curves that deter people from going all in on long term savings. Learning to self-custody with a hardware device is reasonable enough, and something you often come to on your own. But once you begin building up a large amount of savings you realize that the risk is not just losing/compromising your seed phrase but also that you need your spouse and relatives to know your setup (but also design it for them NOT to know it \*too\* well, or have access \*too soon\*). For easy access by relatives/heirs if something happens to me, I have considered 3 options: 1) Use a service like Unchained, Nunchuk (still need to research both more). **Downside**: Requires more trust, ongoing expense. 2) Divide up a multi-sig setup among relatives, 2 of 3 means 1 seed phrase for me (with a copy in my will), 1 for my spouse (so that together we can still sign transactions if ever selling) and 1 for a dependent. **Downside**: my spouse needs to keep it separate from me. Also my dependents are not adults yet, so do I put the 3rd sig in the will for all my dependents to have if it comes to that? 3) Use passphrases in addition to a single-sig (rather than multi-sig). The single sig is backed up on metal in my safe, the passphrases are put in the will (in a way that is not obvious they relate to bitcoin along with instructions about other passwords), but the instructions in the safe will point my dependents to the will, each with their own passphrase that can be used in addition to single-sig to access their own BTC wallet. The single-sig on it’s own leads to a wallet with minimal funds and it’s not obvious that there are any passphrases that go with it to additional wallets (sort of a dummy wallet if the safe is compromised). **Downside:** making sure you’ve documented correctly and update any changes (but changing passwords in your will seems easier than updating multi-sig imo) - someone could do this concept of passphrases from the same single-sig and do multiple multi-sig accounts for each of their dependents Considering these options I don’t know that move app features or different UX will change the learning curve much. But people are so used to relying on financial advisors that maybe more of the teaching will come from those who help write wills and advise on retirement planning (if people really do “get off the wheel” of chasing stock markets investments and managed portfolios in favor of sound savings in bitcoin then all those jobs of money managers are going to have to adapt to other needed services or be out of work!)
Block time totally matters for user experience. There's a huge difference between 0.5s and 2s. **What matters just as much as block time is RPC latency**. Unless you're running your own node, you're connecting to the blockchain through a server's RPC. For the longest time, I used to play Sunflower Land using Metamask and its default RPC. Every on-chain action usually took 2-5s to execute on both Polygon PoS and on Base L2, and sometimes I had to refresh the screen due to how slow it was. The first time I switched to Rabby wallet, I was shocked that the game action registered as soon as I lifted my finger off the mouse button. The actions were instant. I was still using Base L2, but Rabby's UX and its RPCs were so much faster than Metamask's that it felt 10x faster. So I'm pretty sure the game is looking at the mempool instead of waiting for the block to submit. In any case, there's a huge difference in user experience between 0.5s and 2s. > can you actually feel the difference between 0.1s and 0.4s Probably not unless you're using a dApp that needs extremely low-latency. I don't think differences under 0.5s are noticeable. At that point, the RPCs are much more important than the block times.
Nunchuk DIY is definitely one of the cleaner sovereign multisig experiences today — I agree they’ve done a great job balancing security and UX while keeping everything client-side. What I’m still trying to understand better is what people personally consider “simple enough.” Even with Nunchuk DIY, you still need to: – coordinate multiple hardware devices – manage descriptors – keep track of backups in different places – document the recovery flow clearly for someone else – make sure nothing gets lost or mismatched over time I’m curious which part of the DIY flow feels simple to you, and which parts still feel like they require extra attention or technical awareness. Not comparing tools — more trying to understand where multisig UX feels “done” versus where people still feel friction.
Banana Pro doing something interesting merging Telegram and web UX, it makes trading social and fast but still noncustodial.
I’ve held some SOL on and off, and the big thing I’ve learned is that it really depends on your risk tolerance. Solana has the speed/UX edge, and the ecosystem growth over the last year has been hard to ignore — dev activity, consumer apps, memecoins, all of it. That said, it’s still a high-beta asset. When the market pulls back, SOL usually moves harder in both directions. What helps me is looking at *why* I’d hold it: do I believe the chain keeps attracting apps and users, and do I think the fee + speed advantage sticks? If yes, then a slow accumulation strategy makes more sense than trying to time every spike. Diversifying across a few majors also keeps me from overthinking any single chain’s narrative. Rubic often has cross-chain discussions that give a good feel for where real usage is trending. Not financial advice, obviously — but if you share your timeframe and how much volatility you’re okay with, people can give more grounded takes.
If you’re after low fees *and* an app that doesn’t feel like a 2014 banking UI, a few standouts pop up again and again. Totally get the hunt — fees stack up fast, and clunky apps make it worse. What’s worked for me is mixing: • **A cheap on/off-ramp** (bank transfer beats cards every time). • **An exchange with tight spreads**, not just low advertised fees. • **A clean mobile app** so you’re not fumbling during volatile moves. No single platform nails everything, but I usually compare real execution prices before committing. Once I’m already in crypto, I often move trades on-chain where the fees can be lower and the UX is way smoother. If you ever need to hop assets between chains,Rubic has been one of the simpler multi-chain tools I’ve used — just another option in the stack. What features matter most to you: lowest fees, staking, charting, or just a smooth app?
Yeah. It's just like how Android, iOS, VoIP, and POTS phones can all make calls. They're all compatible as long as your number is portable. For wallets, seed phrases are portable. People choose based on all the other features they want, including support for specific blockchains, dApps, speed, and very importantly: UI/UX. Electrum, Sparrow, BlueWallet are Bitcoin-fork only. Electrum and Sparrow are not known to be user friendly, but they have a lot of advanced features. BlueWallet also supports Lightning. Metamask supports EVM blockchains and recently added Solana and Bitcoin. Personally, I would keep my EVM, Solana, and Bitcoin accounts separated on different wallets because their feature sets are very different. For EVM networks, I'd recommend Rabby since it has a better UX and has faster RPCs. Trust is for people who don't care about having a good UI. It's been years since I've touched it, and I rememeber it being too basic.
If it's built into Telegram and has a good UX, I think it would do really well specifically on that platform. Probably wouldn't much adoption beyond the platform. When I last checked at the start of the year, it was nearly impossible to get Telcoin in the US. Btw, do you know if Telegram has any fun games now? Not like the brain-dead Hamster Kombat clicker games. But actually fun games.
Different wallet clients have different UX/UIs and different features. Like for me, I do a lot of DeFi and have found Rabby to be the best at tracking my DeFi positions. Metamask is lacking for DeFi. Therefore, I use Rabby over MM. This is just one example, but hopefully it demonstrates why people prefer different wallets.
I myself transition to DeFi, slowly but steadily. UX is still suboptimal but freedom and independence is more important. Though I hate centralized bridges between chains because they take away some of that.
The recent updates in Metamask had me fuming. The first "feature" was the multichain nonsense, coupled with the addition of this current terrible network selector UX. Then recently, they introduced the inability to send crypto to certain contracts that they identify as non-wallets. The last straw on the camel's back is breaking.
Honestly, for the average person, the UX is still a nightmare. Managing keys, wallets, and fearing you'll send money to a void is stressful. Plus, if their first experience is a slow, expensive BTC transaction, they’re not gonna be impressed. That's where chains like Solana have a huge edge for actual adoption.
Hot take is accurate. Interoperability is the actual bottleneck. Trying to bridge assets is insane UX for anyone new. The immediate solution to that complexity is a strong CEX that manages all the liquidity for you. I stopped juggling chains and platforms. I use BYDFi a lot because they handle that chaos. They offer over 1000 spot assets which means I can find and trade pretty much everything in one place without messing with bridges or random multisigs. If I need to be fast, their Perpetual Contract Trading offers 200x leverage. Best of all, they support NOKYC access, which makes the setup super fast.
Not really. To achieve the same level of security you'd have to have a dedicated HW, dedicated display, dedicated controls - all inside the phone. Meaning another display and all that and doing all "twice". I can't really imagine it UX-wise. But hey, never say never
I love how the TS7 looks and also the improvements made to the general Trezor Suite UX/UI. My question is common question, but hoping you can answer it - as a technologist, how do you balance advanced text, security, and the user experience? Does one always take priority or is it more of an intuition/feel thing for when the right balance is struck?
Oh interesting — yeah, MWEB was actually one of the first things that came to my mind too when I started thinking about this. So I totally get why you’d bring it up. MWEB does handle amounts privately in a really clean way, and I really like how Litecoin implemented it without breaking UX. What I’m thinking about here is a bit different though — less about the mechanics of hiding data, and more about the experience of choosing what is visible and to whom. Almost like: MWEB solves confidentiality, but I’m curious about whether digital money can also express the social side of visibility that physical cash naturally has. Not disagreeing with you at all — your comparison actually helps me frame the idea better. I appreciate you bringing it up.
>Come on, send me your address No thank you but I appreciate the offer. you're still focused on the least important part because even if it could scale perfectly with add-ons and updates it doesn't really matter for every other reason listed and a bunch. Lightning Network (LN) problems: Liquidity issues: Payments fail if channels don’t have funds in the right direction. Rebalancing is a pain and gets worse at scale. On-chain bottleneck: Opening/closing channels still requires L1 transactions. If fees spike, LN becomes expensive and clogged. Routing complexity: Multi-hop payments fail more often than people think. Nodes must stay online, and mass-exit attacks can stress the system. UX friction: Users need channels, liquidity, and maintenance. It’s not “send BTC → done” yet. Centralisation risk: Big routing hubs naturally emerge because they have the most liquidity. Liquid Network problems: Federated trust model: Faster and more flexible, but less decentralized than base Bitcoin. Peg-in/peg-out friction: Moving BTC into/out of Liquid is slow and clunky. Low liquidity / smaller ecosystem: Fewer wallets, fewer users, less real-world flow. Functionary dependence: If enough of them go offline, block creation can stall. Not true “mass scaling”: Great for settlements and asset issuance, but not designed for billions of micro-payments. .
Unfortunately, it is a consequence of the space’s religious belief in immutability. Crypto is an extremely low trust environment once you go on chain. You really have to pretend you are in some extremely shady country once you go on-chain. It is not a coincidence because global shady actors all have access to farm you. When I interact with a protocol, I go through a long routine to double check and triple check everything. Check contract address for suspicious activity. Check if I didn’t get spoofed into a trap url. There is a lot of things to do. This is why I routinely say, on chain is overrated. It won’t the adoption industry heads will say because crypto immutability is just a too hostile UX setup for your average user.
Glue will fix this. Omnichain DEX with the UX of a CEX.
Eth could use ICP to solve scaling and UX issues. ICP wouldn’t replace Eth, but rather complete it, letting ETH remain money and settlement while ICP handles decentralized web & compute. But for that to happen, tough conversations would be needed. No point in wasting more years to achieve what someone already has
Hardware wallets exist for one simple reason: to give you the highest level of protection for your crypto. When you use a software or mobile wallet, your private keys are stored on a device that connects to the internet. That means malware, phishing links, etc put your assets at risk. A hardware wallet solves this by keeping your private keys completely offline. Even when you connect it to a computer to make a transaction, the signing process happens inside the device itself. Your keys never touch the internet. Paper wallets sound simple but have major risks. They can fade, get lost, or be copied without your knowledge. If you ever need to move funds, importing them to a computer exposes the keys directly to the internet, removing all the security you thought you had. A hardware wallet removes that exposure while giving you full self-custody. Hardware wallets are basically just an added layer of security for coins. For a long time, they didn't provide a good UX, and that hurt their adoption. But companies like Trezor have come a long way improving the UX while maintaining high security standards. Trezor just released their Model 7 and in my opinion, it's the best hardware wallet on the market. They are actually doing an AMA on Nov 18-20 on this sub, so you may want to check that out!
This piece identifies the core challenge: user onboarding. "Turning financial participation into something rewarding and accessible" is the holy grail. The tech is only half the battle; the UX is the war.
Have been using u/Teller\_Yield for the last month or so and loving the yield opportunities for Base Token exposure USDC yield pumped to \~ 35 - 40% this week based on people taking out loans to buy the dip (guessing here) Some simple feature requests I would like to see: \- A claim all button for staking / supply rewards \- Clearer UX for what opportunities I have to take a loan and earn greater interest than what is owed for said loan (farming) \- Potential integration with Banker (BNKR) or Superfluid for streaming paybacks of loans \- A Share button when claiming to X / Farcaster to show how much you are earning on telller Overall loving the platform and has been one of the better finds over the last couple months, can't wait for the next update
executor is currently in beta and only work on desktop. the thing with executor is that it's not our focus as of now. Agent owned/operated wallet/transaction is definitely the future, and Surf already support a lot of the use cases (all the demos listed on our website). BUT there are unsolved problems: 1. Security is a serious concern. we don't want users to connect their wallets. 2. UX is still bad. users will have to fund in-app wallet to do most transactions. (we do provide gas token on some chains to begin with) 2. Can't see the one use case that's so scalable and so necessary to be done by agents. It's still an important part of Surf and our roadmap. Just wanted to be perfectly transparent on the current state.
Post is by: holle1997 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: https://www.kcex.com/exchange/BTC_USDT?inviteCode=Z3UQQS I wanted to share a quick summary of my experience with Kcex, a smaller crypto exchange I stumbled across last week. They’ve been running a KYC incentive campaign for new users — not some “free $100” gimmick, but more of a credit you can use for trading once you verify your account. I figured I’d test it with small amounts just to see if the platform actually works. Here’s what I noticed so far: KYC was pretty fast (took around 15 minutes). The interface looks clean, very similar to Bitget/Bybit. Deposit/withdrawal UI works fine — I withdrew a small amount of USDT to test and it went through in ~5 minutes. They have a futures section, spot pairs seem active but not huge volume. Pros: decent UX, fast verification, responsive support. Cons: small liquidity, limited public info about audits or reserves. I’m not promoting them, just documenting a test in case anyone else was curious. If you’re checking it out, obviously do your own research — never throw big money at smaller exchanges before testing withdrawals. But so far, mine went through smoothly. Curious if anyone else here has used Kcex longer term — how stable has it been for you? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Cool to see Cardano pushing on better randomness. For folks comparing designs, a few points from the Algorand side: • Grinding resistance & randomness have been “day-1”: Algorand’s Pure PoS uses VRF-based cryptographic sortition to privately pick proposers/committees. You only learn who was selected after they reveal their VRF proof inside the block, so there’s nothing to “grind” ahead of time. Committees are ephemeral and change every round. • Deterministic finality: When a block is certified by the committee it’s final—no reorg game, no “wait k blocks.” Latency is single-digit seconds with thousands-TPS throughput, so the UX is: submit → final. • Separation of powers in the round: Algorand splits roles (block proposal vs. soft-vote vs. certify-vote) across independently sorted committees. That reduces the blast radius even if an attacker briefly controls stake or DDoSes a set of nodes—next round is a fresh lottery. • Upgrades without hard forks: Protocol upgrades are activated by on-chain voting and flip over network-wide once consensus passes—historically without chain splits. So you get cryptography-level changes without the social fork risk. • MEV & ordering: Because the elected leader is unknown until reveal and committees certify quickly, there’s less surface for mempool games vs. long, reorg-friendly windows. None of this is a dunk on Cardano—Phalanx sounds like it’s moving Ouroboros toward the same north star: publicly verifiable, ungameable randomness feeding a secure PoS. The difference is mostly where each chain started (Algorand shipped with VRFs+deterministic finality) versus what’s being added now.
gmgm! We are currently overhauling how the points system is shown in the app, this will be coming with our next major UX update. However, the points ARE being tracked onchain for all borrow side volume 😉 More updates coming soon...
gmgm! 1. It is correct, Teller is almost 3 years old and we still haven't TGE :) 2. We are currently overhauling how the points system is shown in the app, this will be coming with our next major UX update. 3. The points are currently only active for borrow volume, but they are being tracked internally onchain. (Teller only makes money on the borrow side, we take 1% of that volume as revenue.) Stay tuned for more on this...
Love this thinking! Upward and onward 🫡 Main goals: 1. New UX overhaul: Separating the borrow and earn flows and better guiding the users step by step through the process of each. 2. Shipping CLAIM ALL and AUTO COMPOUND functions: These are our most requested features and will save users a bunch of time. 3. Scaling our Base Mini App: The Base ecosystem is growing rapidly and mini apps have been a great way to increase distribution. 4. Integrating with AI agents like Bankr and AskGina: There are some functions that can only be achieved agenticly, like auto rollover and auto claim / restake. This is a bit further down the road but will completely change the user experience. Thanks a lot for the great question 🤝
Thanks for the kind words! We are going to improve the UX flow even more soon as well. This bootstrapping model worked well for or Mainnet and Base pools and the main driver for borrowing was educating users on 'what they can do with their loans'. We are cooking up some cool strategies for DCAing and farming and will post them here soon.
however I would like to clarify their UI is good, UX is bad, web API is also fine.
If you've ever spent any time in the Ethereum sub, you'd know that Rabby is the most recommended wallet in the community along with Metamask. I use Rabby for my DeFi account because it provides more security features and has much better UX than Metamask. Metamask is still a fine wallet, and I use it for my cold wallet. Rabby in particular is very popular among power users and Ethereum devs who care about about security. Vitalik and other core devs have mentioned using it in past AMAs. https://np.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/191kke6/comment/kh7fg51/ https://np.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/1iw8ln8/comment/mepkf75/
Rabby is very popular in the Ethereum community and ethdev community, especially among professionals. https://np.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/1njk67a/best_ethereum_focused_wallet/ They're both fine. I use Rabby for my DeFi account because it provides more security features and has better UX, and use Metamask for my cold account since I rarely need to touch it and I bet Metamask will be around forever.
Meh. Metamask is fine though it has gotten a little worse with their new UX. I liked it more when it was cleaner and more professional. However, Rabby is just better and has more security features.
Buttcoin: stablecoins have no use case My landlord: pay me in Tether Me: stablecoin UX is horrible, ~5 coins * ~5 chains, can't pay fees in the stablecoin itself Wish people would hurry up and understand bitcoin.
Getting into crypto is easier if you treat it like a small project with clear steps. Best Wallet pairs simple UX with sensible safety defaults. Start with education and tiny amounts. Open an account at a reputable fiat on-ramp, do a coffee-money buy, then withdraw a small test to your own wallet and verify it on a block explorer. Keep only a working float on exchanges with hardware-key 2FA and withdrawal whitelists on. For storage, use a hardware signer for savings and a watch-only view so you don’t unlock keys to peek. Backups matter most: write the seed on paper or metal, store two copies in separate places, and consider an optional passphrase only if you can manage it long term. Build habits early, like bookmarking dapps, avoiding search-ad installs, setting spend caps, and doing a monthly approval review. No profit promises here, just a routine that reduces avoidable mistakes.
Strong this. This reddit thread is the most obviously paid for post i've ever seen lol. I've tried to use Kraken several times in the past but it has the worst UX/UI next to coinbase, crypto .com, and binance.
I would get a ColdCard, but doesn't really matter. Trezor is probably fine. I'm not going to answer your question, I'm sure others will. I will however tell you that it's important you understand the point of a hardware wallet. A lot of stories about people who get a hardware wallet, but then types in their seed online somewhere, like their hardware wallet software on the computer (which has been compromised, and asks for your seed to steal your money). You should read more about this yourself, but you can think of it as a computer that has your private keys. The wallet on your computer (I'll refer to this as your software wallet) will be able to see the bitcoin you've received and you'll be able to generate new addresses where people can send you money. You can create transactions in your software wallet, but you need to sign them with your private keys before they are valid. You send this unsigned transaction to your hardware wallet, and the job of your hardware wallet is to sign it with the private keys, and send it back to your software wallet, where you can transmit it to the network. It will seem a lot more simple when you use the software wallet, because a lot of this complexity is hidden by the UX. This is a good thing, it makes it a lot easier to use. The point of the hardware wallet is to isolate the private keys from your computer. It protects you against a lot of attacks. The software wallet could be compromised, and when you send a transaction, it could change the receive address to one the attacker owns. This is one of the reasons why all good hardware wallets have a display, so you can verify on your device that the send address is the correct one. You should have your private key backed up on steel. You should only use it to put it into your hardware wallet. If your hardware wallet dies, you should buy a new one and put your seed into it. This might seem a bit over the top, but it's important to understand it's purpose so you don't end up giving your seed to an attacker. Good luck on your journey. It can seem daunting at first, but you can take small steps and change things as you learn.
Kraken might be a good escape from crappy exchanges. The UX is smooth and with the latest addition of profit/loss display it’s better than ever.
There are many options for cold wallets. Things to check for: 1) open source (allows for auditing) 2) secure element 3) ability to buy direct from manufacturer 4) UX that fits you Would personally suggest coldcard or if something more mainstream, Trezor Ledger feels too corporate nowadays. Haven’t tried bitkey, but heard good things
I felt the same way about MetaMask it works, but the UX just feels outdated and buggy at times. I switched over to xPortal a while ago and it’s been way smoother. It’s non-custodial so you still own your keys, and the interface actually feels modern. You can manage multiple wallets, swap tokens, stake, and even get a crypto card if that’s your thing.
Post is by: Maasbreesos and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1obtgpn/better_alternatives_to_metamask/ I’m looking for a reliable and secure wallet. I used MetaMask for a while but honestly the UX was clunky, and I keep running into complaints about bugs and issues that don’t seem to go away. What are people here using instead? I’ve heard of wallets like Trust and also newer ones like Bitlock wallet that bundle trading tools, cross-chain swaps, and scam detection into one app. Curious if anyone has tried them and how they compare. Looking for something that’s actually smooth, secure, and doesn’t feel outdated. Any suggestions? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

Post is by: Mobile_Magician_9133 and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoMarkets/comments/1ob1x1a/coinblast_more_than_just_auctions_a_glimpse_into/ Introduction: Discovering the Digital Gem When it comes to crypto platforms that successfully blend earning opportunities with engaging community interaction, CoinBlast stands out as a unique contender. As a user who has dedicated time to exploring its features, I feel compelled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. CoinBlast is not just another typical auction site; it is an integrated ecosystem designed to genuinely reward user activity—a significant departure from the passive or opaque models of many traditional platforms. Initially, I approached it with a degree of skepticism, as is natural when encountering promises of online earning. However, after diving into my own experience, particularly participating in the daily auctions and tackling various earning tasks, I quickly realized that the platform is built on a foundation of transparency and real reward for active participation. Core Experience 1: The Thrill of Auctions and Bidding The most immediately captivating element of CoinBlast is its auction system. It delivers an exciting combination of strategy and competitive thrill. Unlike conventional auctions where success often hinges solely on having the deepest pockets, the CoinBlast model utilizes a specific bidding currency (BIDs) that, to me, grants a greater sense of fairness and opportunity for every user. I distinctly recall an auction where I participated, targeting an exclusive NFT pack. The competition was fierce, yet the entire process felt highly transparent. The real-time tracking of bids adds an element of excitement and suspense. Crucially, even when I didn't emerge victorious in some auctions, I didn't feel a total loss; the platform seems designed to provide small compensations for participation (often in the form of minor rewards or experience points). This mechanism significantly lowers the "pain of losing" and encourages users to return with a refined strategy. The utilization of BIDs as the main auction currency is a clever innovation. It establishes a mild barrier to entry for the larger auctions, ensuring serious players are involved, while simultaneously allowing the BIDs themselves to be earned or purchased relatively easily, thus keeping the platform accessible to a broad audience. Core Experience 2: The Multiple Earning Pathways What kept me engaged with CoinBlast in the long term is the abundance of ways to earn outside of the auction hall. The "Journalist" task itself exemplifies this philosophy, actively encouraging users to contribute to community growth and spread awareness. I have successfully engaged with other tasks, such as watching short promotional videos and completing short surveys, which demand minimal effort in exchange for clear and immediate crypto rewards. The combination of different reward tokens (such as XRP, TRON, and the internal Star currency) creates a compelling incentive. My earnings were not restricted to a single token, which immediately provided me with portfolio diversification or the option to use the internal currency to boost my chances within the platform. This diversification in rewards is a key factor that helps CoinBlast truly stand out as a platform that values and compensates the user's time and effort. User Experience and Design (UX/UI) I must commend CoinBlast on its user interface. In a world saturated with overly complex and confusing crypto interfaces, CoinBlast offers a clean and intuitive design. Whether I am using the platform on my mobile device (which I do most frequently) or on my desktop, navigating between the tasks, the main dashboard, the auctions, and the wallet is seamless. Furthermore, I found the withdrawal process to be refreshingly clear and straightforward. This aspect is vital, as many platforms deliberately complicate withdrawals to create friction. The transparency in displaying my balance and earned rewards, coupled with a reasonable minimum withdrawal limit, instills a strong sense of trust and control over my digital assets. Conclusion: A Platform Worth Your Time Following my comprehensive experience of participating in auctions and using the platform’s earning features, I can confidently assert that CoinBlast is more than just a place to pick up some extra crypto; it is a smart platform that intelligently integrates elements of gamification, reward, and community building. It is not without its challenges—auctions can be competitive—but the multiple, structured reward systems ensure that your time and effort are genuinely valued. I highly recommend CoinBlast to anyone interested in cryptocurrencies who is looking for an interactive and enjoyable method to earn tokens like XRP and TRON while experiencing the thrill of digital auctions. My experience has been overwhelmingly positive, and I look forward to seeing the future features and updates from this promising project. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

It's binance Thailand a complete separate entity to binance global. The problem is the shitty UX. I'm trying to retain proof of purchase which was cash from my bank account that was Linked to the exchange. I can just imagine in future trying to sign up to a new CEX, first question will be 'what is the origin of your btc', I'll reply with screenshots of previous exchange transactions and will be laughed at
Nice social engineering, special place in hell for such peeps, anyways ledger has also made a statement on their site if you type the link that is written on the letter https://www.ledger.com/transaction-check just wish it is more prominent/ highlighted as customers dont usually pay attention to such things “UX team @ ledger im looking at you”. This is a serious matter.

I use virtual and physical Zypto Visa cards, both through ZyptoApp. Clean, user friendly UI/UX Acceptance worldwide, ATM withdrawals enabled Super responsive inApp customer support Cashback and other perks for Zypto token holders Affordable costs/fees Overall rating: I've never experienced better crypto cards so far
Please. . . What's the main issue? Because UX is always the main issue in my book. Meshtastic is amazing, but unless you have the IQ to figure everything out, you don't want to have anything to do with it. So people fallback to meshcore. When you want something to be adopted by the masses, your first goal is that they understand how it works, and how to use it. As it stands, only a few people understand crypto. You put a hardware wallet in someone's hands that automatically receives a transaction, and asks if they approve of it, and you've made crypto understandable to the masses. But. . . What's the main issue?
Sure, BitTorrent-level UX, but with a consensus engine bolted on so money can’t fork.
Yeah, uhm... there is 2FA and passwordless, no need for this sh\*t... * Latency: even instant chains add a few seconds. * Fees: tiny, but still not zero unless subsidized. * Privacy: linking wallet → web identity is traceable on-chain. * UX fragmentation: not yet standardized like WebAuthn. As a Web3 primitive...meh, okay - but then forget about privacy.
No you're not dumb this is actually a major headache of bitcoin when it comes to UX design. And this issue is unique to BTC only in crypto world since only BTC has such a high unit price. I really hope we can officially use sats or whatever unit for BTC, so instead of buying 0.00000001 BTC we can just say buying 1 *whatever unit here*
This is the most effective onboarding funnel crypto’s seen in years. No MetaMask. No gas fees. Just tap, play, and suddenly you’re farming tokens. That’s UX crypto never figured out until Telegram. Not sure if 1win is the breakout, but the model is sticky. Attention is the currency, and these games are printing it daily. Could be hype. But also could be how normies finally touch crypto without knowing they touched crypto
Dead af worst blockchain UX and UI I've ever used, don't even have any real stablecoins in there.
P2p money is still is the point of bitcoin and why the lightning network is created and being so heavily developed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOmUpp3J9Ck A great problem for adoption as a currency is volatility . We hope volatility will drop in time with higher liquidity and UX keeps improving every year. Keep in mind that Bitcoin is going through the normal stages of becoming a currency. Collectible>Asset/commodity>volatile currency>Stable unit of account currency Right now Bitcoin is between stage 2 and 3. Another thing to keep in mind is that part of the transition will happen naturally with the newer generations who are more familiar with technology , prefer digital over physical, and don't trust traditional banks. For the data showing you the shift in the last 2 generations perspectives read these - https://www.bankofcanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/san2018-23.pdf https://perma.cc/6C7B-J5DD ---------- Lets discuss some of the properties of what makes a good currency and where Bitcoin fits now compared to gold and fiat **1) Durability** = Gold is best here due to its history and physical nature. Bitcoin and fiat being digital in nature means we must compare the durability of the institution/network that issues and secures them. I would suggest that Bitcoin will slightly excel responsible nation states here and does far better than unreliable forms of fiat when looking at the history of fiat compared the the history and properties of Bitcoin(2017 gave a lot of credibility to Bitcoin in it thwarting a powerful attack and nation states have repeatedly attacked Bitcoin to one degree or another) **2) Portability** = Gold is horrible in this category being physical, heavy and unable to be sent digitally(custodians don't count as you lose most the benefits of gold and it switched categories from a bearer asset to registered value). Bitcoin beats fiat here too as its peer to peer , global and lacks regulatory friction. **3) Fungibility** Gold and bitcoin tie here. When comparing fiat to Bitcoin it is more complicated but Bitcoin beats fiat here overall and is significantly getting better each year. Physical fiat has some advantages over Bitcoin in the sense that its easier to have strong privacy locally as long as the whole "anonymity set" (group of users) avoid depositing the fiat in ATMs and banks(physical cash has serial numbers that are tracked with OCR + bill readers everywhere). Bitcoin can be very private if you use the right wallet and you take precautions but if you make a mistake onchain you can also have problems. Bitcoin being used with a lightning wallet is extremely private by default and chain analysis is useless. Digital fiat isn't very fungible or private at all. Gold isn't as fungible as many people suggest either due to different grading, certifying prices, forms which all fetch different prices. **4) Scarcity** -- Bitcoin wins this hands down with a fixed and limited supply. ~2-4 million BTc have been permanently lost/destroyed and many people also a long term investors leading to more scarcity. Gold is a distant 2nd with concerns in asteroid mining - (Psyche 16 as an example) and not knowing if any other large deposit can be found but far superior to fiat. **5) Divisibility** Bitcoin is already divisible by 8 decimal places onchain and 1/1000 of a satoshi on other layers like lightning. Thus micro txs are possible with bitcoin and too impractical with gold and not as easily done with fiat due to regulatory friction and costs. The idea is that machines and software can tip other software, machines, and services by the minute or second to allow for more granularity and thus more efficiency with lower prices. **6) Acceptability** - Fiat wins this category for the time being due to its acceptance worldwide , especially US dollars. Bitcoin being a global currency without regulatory friction can one day overtake even the most accepted fiat however. Almost no one accepts gold for payment so its last and this is unlikely to change. **7) Verifiability** - Bitcoin wins here over gold and fiat. Gold can be verified but takes more effort and there are concerns with tungsten filled bars and fake gold. Bitcoin being swept from a private key(coin or paper) or accepting an open dime is better than fiat physical cash, and digital fiat has very large concerns and delays in verification (chargebacks, fraud, etc...) **8) stability as a unit of account** - While Bitcoin is better than certain forms of fiat in this category, most are more stable than bitcoin and so Bitcoin remains 3rd compared to fiat and gold. We hope that Bitcoin in time will become less volatile with a much larger market cap . This trend is already occurring ,and much economic theory supports this happening but its still an experiment as to how long it will take and what size market cap / liquidity is needed So you can see bitcoin is already better than fiat in 6 of the 8 categories above and the 2 remaining categories just take time.

You need to focus on the new alts, HYPE, ASTER and the likes, on the previous cycle a lot of alts didn't reach their previous ATH either. Everyone knows these days that for example ada is a dead blockchain, no volume, no stablecoins no defi activity and terrible UX if you try to use it. same for DOT and ALGO, I don't know outside of this sub anyone that does anything on these blockchains, you shouldn't focus on previous all time highs at all on these dead alts, they are far from it and most will not even get close to it
I still use Strike for those spot purchases. I found Kraken’s UX overboard; I’m not trying to day trade and game the highs & lows, I just wanna exchange my dollars for bitcoin.
I too started with River, found Strike, then fully converted to Strike (even transferred my River balance over). I used Kraken Pro a few times for spot purchases, but I found Strike’s UX beats everyone else. I’m all-in with Strike, and take advantage of all their services to enjoy the lower fee tier (direct deposit & bill pay).
I’m a UX designer with 15+ years experience if looking
Trezor vs Ledger isn’t win–lose, it’s tradeoffs. One emphasizes open firmware and great passphrase workflows, the other leans on a secure element and sleek UX. Your safety comes from procedure: on-device verification, offline backups in two places, practice restores, and using a watch-only view for daily checks. If value is high, think about multisig across vendors. If value is modest, a single signer with disciplined habits is usually enough. Pick the one you’ll actually use correctly every time.
From what I’ve seen there’s no fully trustless multi chain DEX that supports BTC right now. Atomic swaps are technically possible (there were projects like Komodo and Liquality that experimented with it) but.... liquidity and UX are pretty rough. Most cross-chain DEXs end up using wrapped assets or semi-custodial bridges which kills the decentralization part.🤔 So yeah I think you’re not missing anything, the space is still waiting for someone to nail this properly. Curious if anyone here knows a newer project tackling this head-on? 🫣
The safer choice is the one that matches your risk and your ability to maintain it. Ledger gives you secure-element hardware and a polished UX, Trezor leans into transparency and open tooling. Either way, the process carries most of the weight: buy direct, verify firmware, confirm addresses on-device, and never digitize the seed. For larger holdings, I like a 2-of-3 multisig split across different vendors and locations to avoid a single failure taking you out. Pair with a watch-only wallet, keep written recovery instructions in plain language, and run a low-value restore annually. Tools reduce risk; routines eliminate it.
