1/ Thoughts on the current & future users of Decentralized Apps.

in the long run, the users who will choose a #dapp and it's (currently) clunky limitations, rather than a flaming fast centralized version, will do so because of
the value proposition of #decentralization

2/ believers in #decentralization will be the real common user base among many or all dapps, that's where a #dapp's business really is going to be

(This of course is valid where the #blockchain is central to the value proposition of the project and not just a support element)

3/ If this hypothesis turns out to be true, it would mean that our #Design, #UX and Content should convey that value proposition, it will be a value to show certain parts of the technology and the process rather than hiding it away

4/ of course every dapp and service will also have a subset of those users,
and, again, in cases where the blockchain is only a support element for one tiny part of the product or service, the user base will largely be outside of this set of believers & it makes sense to hide it

5/ you can also discuss this here: discuss.conflux.network/t/research-dap…
