I wonder what the #Bitcoin experience is like for people who are blind.

Everything is more challenging. Bitcoin isn't unique in that respect. It's a challenge. But I recently started thinking about UX for people who have conditions like blindness (including color), hearing impairment, etc.

It's also worth thinking about ways to make UX more standardized so that even language isn't a barrier for payments and other uses.

I don't think the Bitcoin space is doing worse than any other, but I'm admittedly a bit clueless since it isn't something I have to deal with.

I'm partially blind in one eye, so I'm a bit more aware than most (since losing my good eye would massively impact my life, and I think about it), but not nearly as aware as I should be.

Dude with your bitcoin you'll buy technology that will help you see better than anything you could have imagined. The technology that is coming under hard money will blow you away. We have entered an epoch of prosperity the likes of which human minds cannot fathom, like a horse-carriage peasant trying to grasp the idea of a Boeing 747, or the internet.

I'm not sure that is true for me, but it certainly is for some conditions. We have already been seeing wild advancements even with fiat. I also think it'll get much wilder with sound money and economics.

Napoleon Hill has taught us that anything is possible. You can have perfectly good vision if you decide and believe you can.

I shall improve mine as well, naturally, as I experience mild near sightedness

I wonder if there are developers who have experience working with the visually impaired, or devs who work and operate from within the demographic.
