The whole 'complexity equals value' mindset that dominated crypto culture? I'm over it. Once I actually started using user-friendly platforms, that narrative fell apart pretty fast. Yeah, we've spent years telling ourselves: if it's complicated, it must be worth something; if it confuses you, the security must be rock solid; if it drains your patience, you're probably catching it early anyway. Turns out that's just cope. The standard for what makes a good product shouldn't be how much pain it causes. Better UX doesn't make you a casual or less serious about crypto—it just means you respect your own time. The real adoption we need won't come from gatekeeping through difficulty. It comes from making this accessible without dumbing it down.

To be honest, I used to believe the argument that "complexity = sophistication," but now I find it hilarious—it's just a bunch of people making excuses for themselves. Complexity does not equal security. The truly useful products are the way to go. Projects that insist on anti-human interaction will die sooner or later. This is what I want to see—no need to pretend to be a mysterious person anymore.

Someone should have said this earlier: the idea that complexity = value is really outdated. --- No, why is user-friendliness always considered unprofessional... That logic is ridiculous. --- The truth is, it's better to spend time on trading rather than struggling with the wallet. --- High barriers ≠ security, and using difficulty as an excuse to hide poor design is always the same. --- Tired of hearing self-soothing phrases like "the more complex, the more early-stage." --- Exactly, only user-friendly products can truly break out of the circle, not to scare away beginners.

To be honest, I'm tired of that complicated rhetoric; it's just self-deception. High difficulty ≠ high value; that logic should have been discredited long ago. A good product should be easy to use. Why is that so hard to understand? It's simply been brainwashed by those complex systems for so many years. High usability actually shows the team’s dedication; where does the rookie argument come from? Real large-scale applications don't rely on difficulty to filter people.

Damn, this is exactly what I've been wanting to say! Complexity ≠ professionalism, it's really a false proposition. --- If it's hard to use, it's hard to use. Don't talk about security... Being able to make a product that is both easy to use and secure is true skill. --- Someone should have clarified this long ago. Gatekeeping through complexity is basically self-castration. --- Real large-scale applications don't need newbies to be discouraged, but it doesn't mean dumbing things down... Finding that balance is so important. --- The industry should evolve. Stop glorifying those inefficient things all day. --- Yes, yes, yes, I'm really disgusted by this kind of rhetoric. If it's easy to use, it's easy to use. Why create the impression that "a high threshold is true love"? --- UX friendliness ≠ not serious. This concept needs to be changed. Too many people are trapped by this psychological suggestion. --- Still bragging about poor user experience, truly unbelievable. --- Finally, someone is talking about this... I realized it after trying out a new platform earlier this year. --- Accessibility does not equal dumbing down. This statement deserves to be posted separately.

After all these years of saying that complexity is valuable, it turns out that only when using a user-friendly platform do you realize you've been deceived.

ngl the "complexity is a moat" argument was always cope for people holding bags they couldn't offload anyway

I've long been fed up with this obsession with complexity, claiming it's professional when it's actually hard to use—pure self-deception. Every day they shout that it's hard to use for safety, and I just want to ask, who came up with this logic? How does good user experience become casual... I really don't get it. It's basically a bunch of people packaging their painful experiences as an entry fee, and now that they've been exposed, they're still resisting. I'm telling you, truly scalable products never require users to suffer to prove their value. Complexity ≠ depth. Only this convoluted crypto has a future.
