bitcoin has been around for 16 years now which means there's a generation of designers who've been working through the core design and engineering tradeoffs for over a decade at this point.
what excites me is that we're hitting this moment where there's a new generation who grew up using the tools we build. they didn't have to unlearn traditional finance ux or how money should work on the internet. crypto was always just a thing for them to use.
the type of kids i think of are the ones from junseth's world. they met on minecraft and learned bitcoin early. figured out self custody, coinjoining, sim swapping, etc...there's other kids with that same native fluency pointed in a different direction. https://soundcloud.com/junsethsworld/episode-74-interview-with-a-social-engineering-hacker
the stuff we build today shapes how the next gen of product designers will think. they will face problems we haven't even discovered yet. the choices we make now become the foundation for this next generation. let's do our best so they inherit better starting points.
