As designers, you will often create several iterations only to come back to the first one. The effort is not wasted — that’s how we know those directions don’t work. That’s how we get better confidence in the first iteration and know why it works.

Crypto doesn’t need believers. It needs educators and explainers who can talk normal (and create believers). Half this shit is easier than they make it and the rest half barely anyone understands. Almost every crypto bro sounds like a random jargon generator atm.
