The faster we move away from random strings of letters and numbers as the default for wallet addresses, the faster we will reach true mass adoption.
Humans are error prone, which is exasperated by having wallet addresses that are difficult for humans to comprehend, share, and remember.
This isn't the first time that we have seen this problem in history.
This isn't the first time that we have seen this problem in history.
Historical timeline to know:
1969: ARPANET processes first message
1971: Email created
1983: DNS created
1984: .com domains + 5 others available
1986: Domain registration becomes public
It took almost 20 years from the first message on ARPANET to public domain registration.

There are many teams working to solve this issue.
They are all taking different approaches.
I'm not smart enough to know the solution, but easy to identify the problem.

Computers are built to read strings of random numbers and letters.
Humans are not optimized for this.
We need human-readable addresses.
That will create a step-function change in adoption.
