He aspired to push us all into a financial renaissance where our aging financial system would be replaced with one that favors no one entity or being. A fully transparent financial system that's open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, so that anyone can track fund flows on the blockchain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And while this value proposition alone is more than sufficient to migrate from our legacy financial systems, Satoshi's greatest breakthrough with the invention of blockchain and crypto is how a user accesses this network: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a non-custodial wallet<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With only a mobile device and an internet connection, anyone can safely view, send, and receive value, which is the closest we've been to a financially inclusive world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That being said, the blockchain industry, which can be more eloquently referred to as web3, has reached an inflection point where the next wave of adoption will likely come through entirely different channels than generations past. In other words, there are only so many new entrants that would have the inertia to deal with the operational headache of engaging with web3 technologies, given the relative return or utility of the technology is largely not there for the next generation of users. Coinbase CEO <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/brian-armstrong\"><strong>Brian Armstrong<\/strong><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/news\/digital-banking-and-economic-development-inclusion-and-exclusion-in-latin-america\/#:~:text=For%20instance%2C%20in%20Mexico%2C%20the,adults%20have%20a%20bank%20account.\"> alluded<\/a> to this on stage at the All-In Summit this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be frank, market standards for an acceptable web3 user journey must improve if we want greater adoption amongst discovery audiences. The wallets attached to those user journeys need to do more than hold internet money if we expect those people to use them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Why It Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The term \u2018web3\u2019 refers to the third iteration of the internet, which is built on the concept of digital, verifiable ownership. Contrary to the web2 paradigms, web3 users maintain and own all their information, financial assets, digital collectibles, and more, while &#8216;Big Tech\u2019 holds this dear information in the web2 universe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ownership is achieved through non-custodial wallets where this information is only accessible by the owner of said wallet. The wallet owner can grant \u2018read-only' access to any internet protocol that might want to access the wallet's contents, but again, it's purely at the owner's discretion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the words of the one and only Gordon Gekko, \u201c<\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0094291\/characters\/nm0000140\">The most valuable commodity I know of is information<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,\u201d and depending on where you live, your willingness to share that information may vary. In the developed world, the average person has the luxury of robust banking and money-transmission services. Moreover, a certain level of implicit trust makes them feel secure with \u2018owning\u2019 nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sure, they can view and access the bank account balance shown on their account, but they technically \u2018own\u2019 something that's continuously being lent out in exchange for crumbs. What's more, users completely rely on a bank's good faith to perform any action they wish to perform. This model is deeply flawed and hardly works here. Still, as you venture into the lesser-developed parts of the world, the overwhelming distrust of traditional banking systems has left much of the <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/jsis.washington.edu\/news\/digital-banking-and-economic-development-inclusion-and-exclusion-in-latin-america\/#:~:text=For%20instance%2C%20in%20Mexico%2C%20the,adults%20have%20a%20bank%20account.\">population unbanked<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>It All Starts With the Wallet<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We've made significant strides over the last decade and a half regarding developing, using, and adopting decentralized technologies. Additionally, regulatory clarity and legal recognition from governing bodies worldwide have recently accelerated, with Shanghai, most recently, recognizing <\/span><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/coins\/bitcoin\">Bitcoin<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a digital currency. That said, it's still painfully difficult to access and move value that\u2019s on-chain, given that the interfaces that connect us to the technology are shockingly underdeveloped compared to the sheer size of the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, crypto wallets don\u2019t allow you to do anything you couldn't otherwise do with traditional banking products. Because transmitting value within this framework is arduous, Bitcoin's battle to establish itself as a reasonable means of payment has been thwarted. Instead, crypto wallets are more or less an easy way to individually secure your (way more volatile) funds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, it's never been more difficult to garner the attention of the general consumer. Popular media, short-form content, and a little bit of ADD have made it excruciatingly difficult for companies to reach target consumers. Because of this, the most successful technologies provide a utility that introduces extreme convenience or consolidation in one's life. Take TikTok, for instance \u2014 beyond being a means of creative expression, it also serves as a social network and, increasingly, a search engine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By serving multiple purposes, the value proposition for installing and spending time on the platform is strengthened because users enjoy the luxury of not jumping from platform to platform. In 2023, the average <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/truelist.co\/blog\/apps-statistics\/#:~:text=An%20average%20person%20has%20over,apps%20installed%20on%20their%20phones.\">person<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has about 80 applications installed on their phone, <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nydailynews.com\/2013\/03\/22\/how-smartphones-are-on-the-verge-of-taking-over-the-world\/\">nearly 2x more<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> than a decade prior.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of this, we\u2019re now entering a new era in tech in that new products and applications will need not only to solve a problem but also introduce convenience \u2014 a wallet is no different than that. This isn\u2019t all that dissimilar from when Apple put a phone into the iPod all those years ago.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>The Future<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To unlock all of crypto's potential, we must innovate from the ground up and ensure that an unnecessarily archaic user experience doesn't obstruct its value proposition. We need to push paradigms and challenge established conventions to ensure that we spend the majority of the next 15 years building a new, free world instead of struggling through teaching our friends and loved ones about public and private keys.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over 15 years ago, Satoshi invented the world&#8217;s first independently managed, self-operating financial system through cryptography.
