Branding and User Experience in Crypto

There is a concern that the branding of cryptocurrencies is too focused on the user level, which undermines the simplicity of using traditional money. For instance, people often spend dollars regardless of the context, such as using a debit card or cash, without considering the underlying risks. In contrast, when dealing with stablecoins like USDC or USDT, users face complexities that detract from the foundational understanding of money as a simple unit of value. This shift away from abstraction complicates user experience and can create hesitance for traditional consumers in entering the crypto space.
