So in Ethereum, people are already accustomed to using metamask as an interface for key storage and the UX is decent enough, quite rough but ok. Installing an extension seems like a lot of friction, but not unsurmountable. The key is to make the UX flow of getting from signup to relay connection to other users' discovery much more seamless.
This is why I love BTC community in the end, no compromises about the thing that matters most. Thank you, and I agree.
Fair, and you're right in some sense. But then that simply makes this entire thing exclusive to people that can. Grandma will never run a node.
I asked and they answered, somewhat interesting read, some thought out answers, and some not so much.

The best argument is that the punishment is greater in a PoS network because if you successfully attack a PoW chain, you still have the hardware, whereas a PoS chain makes you ultimately loose the capital that you use to attack the system.
You are right, many don't run their own node. But many do care about decentralization. In the end, for artists playing with NFTs as the medium, ETH is the most decentralized solution with the least friction to do what they want to do. But to many, it's just about quick $$.
2/2 It's not perfect, but even the imperfect and crappy system unlocks a layer of creativity, because ownership becomes part of the artistic medium, and once you play with it as an artistic thing, many possibilities emerge.
1/2 It is interesting, and don't get me wrong, I LOVE bitcoin. It is ultimately going to win. But, for example, digital media visual artists, even with the flawed system of NFTs are finally seeing a market for their art.
Probably not a controversial take for this crowd, but a lot of people whose opinions I respect disagree with me.
I like you am a BTC Maxi interested in the cultural penetration that ETH has achieved. I go to an eth meetup, I meet artists, writers, developers, musicians, socialists, capitalists and finance people and more. I go to a bitcoin meetup and the diversity of ideas is not the same.
Somehow, I've never had the experience of clicking from one 'social media' site to another and being able to see and interact with the content so easily. I quite like this.
I wish I could give you meaningless internet points for this, instead, you must settle for me praising you in words.
