The decentralised finance club needs to make their core values poster bigger and easier to understand
We’re here in 2023 and they still forget that the core value of “not your keys not your wallet” is the equivalent of putting your cash under your mattress instead of using a bank and the complexity that comes with that is unavoidable.
You can get more people to use a mediocre product/technology by making it easy to use
People will use complex products/technologies if they are useful enough.
But these people can’t make it useful so they keep banging their head against the wall trying to make it more simple.
It is inevitable that they will try the even lazier route of deceiving people into thinking it is simple.

I mean they’re making a semi-valid point. If you don’t get charged for it, it’s not Web 3.0. Specifying that you’re paying for it is redundant. This is more of a dig against web3 than anything
wot?
you would give any website your credit card details just for authentication?
Coin wallet, but that’s what Web3 requires. Writing to the blockchain costs money, it doesn’t matter what you do, it costs money. If it doesn’t cost money, it can’t be Web3. Easiest way to tell if someone is just using it as a buzzword, Web3 cannot be free of charge.
Would I personally do it? Fuck no. But that’s what Web3 requires.
I pay for my VPN, mullvad, with crypto monthly. €5 a month. Is that web 3?
