Crypto Users Don0t Hate DeFi. They Hate Friction
I used to think DeFi’s biggest problem was trust.
Now I think itz friction.
The more time I spent on-chain, the more obvious it became most people are not avoiding DeFi because decentralization failed.
They are tired of the process.
Switch network
Approve token
Adjust slippage
Retry failed tx
Bridge assets
Reconnect wallet.
After a while the trade itself almost feels like the easy part.
Thatz probably why centralized platforms kept winning attention. Not because people suddenly stopped caring about self-custody but because easier experiences usually win.
Most users don0t want to manage infrastructure every time they make a move. They just want access speed & less friction.
Thatz partly why Genius Terminal caught my attention.
Not only because of execution but because the idea feels different: what if chains become invisible and complexity stays in the background instead of being pushed onto users?
Feels like crypto eventually has to move in that direction.
Because if using DeFi still feels exhausting, most people simply won0t stay.
What do you think about it? Feel free to share your experience & opinions
