AI-generated summary

The complexity of blockchain consensus mechanisms poses a barrier to creating a truly decentralized society, as users lack the knowledge and energy to understand these concepts. This makes it difficult for average users, like the author's mother, to engage with Web3. To promote blockchain, it is essential to lower the barriers to usage and understanding. The author envisions a user-friendly software experience, a decentralized app store, and AI guides to help users navigate Web3, including managing keys. The author believes that only when personal AI assistants can handle consensus issues will the blockchain industry truly advance; until then, it remains a tool for financial exploitation.

The various consensus logics of blockchain are too complex. However, to truly build a decentralized society, many concepts must be understood. This is contradictory. Users are not that smart and do not have the energy to study everything clearly. Currently, everything in web3 has usage and understanding thresholds.
In short, it is too disconnected from reality. If I want my mom to understand and use web3, it’s as difficult as climbing to the sky.
How can something that is hard for users to experience be promoted?

Lowering the usage threshold and reducing the difficulty of understanding is what blockchain needs to do. I hope I can just install a software and experience it with one click. I hope there is a decentralized software app store. I hope there is a smart AI guide that tells me the common knowledge I need to know to experience web3. Teach me step by step how to handle private keys and public keys.

The blockchain industry will enter a phase of growth only when AI has matured, and personal AI assistants can help people deal with a large number of consensus issues. Before that, blockchain is just a tool for financial exploitation.
