• Keys are being abstracted away. • Users will call customer support to restore their coins, but never give up control. • Ownership of a single UTXO will become rare. • On-chain transactions will be used to build networks, more than transfer coins. • Lightning, sidechains, statechains & more will work invisibly behind the curtain. Things are changing fast, and we go through all sorts of great stuff in this show and I attempt to explain some of the technical elements with analogies using cookies.
