I keep thinking about how heavy this stuff actually is under the hood… like this isn’t some lightweight tweak, it’s complicated, expensive, kinda fragile maybe… and people are acting like it’ll just plug into everything and suddenly users stop struggling
they won’t
if the experience still feels like crypto, people will still bounce… doesn’t matter if it’s private or not
and that’s the part I keep circling back to… users don’t care about proofs or math or whatever, they care if it feels easy, safe, normal
normal is underrated honestly
crypto never felt normal… it feels like trying to use a vending machine that might randomly eat your money and you just accept it because “decentralization” lol
so yeah if this ZK stuff actually makes things quieter, less exposed, less stressful… then yeah it’s something
but if it just adds another layer of complexity behind the scenes and the front still sucks, then what’s the point
also not gonna lie, the whole space jumping on “ZK this, ZK that” makes me a bit uneasy… feels like when everyone suddenly became an AI expert overnight… same vibe
