A thought experiment I like to use when working on a new user interface is to imagine if my mum could use it, or if I could easily explain it to her in a way that made sense. (she represents the average non-technical person)<p>I like to use this thought experiment when imagining Bitcoin adoption. And then I realise that after all the reading I&#x27;ve done and being fairly technically literate I can barely explain Bitcoin to myself in a coherent way.<p>The conclusion I come to with this over-simplified view is that highly technical people are creating a larger divide of Us and Them. This isn&#x27;t through malice, people are free to create and experiment intellectually as they see fit. But it would be nice if the average persons use-case was considered when planning your utopian money system that you have a head start on in accumulating wealth.
