Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

That's what I find incredible about this community. 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. The complexity that comes with that is unavoidable. It is essential that you know you are in control of an entity that is there or is not there, and no insurance can bring it back because it is fully decentralised.
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.
These people know they can't make it more useful so they keep banging their head against the wall trying to make it more simple.
It is inevitable that they will keep trying to deceive people into thinking it is simple.
