The Great Simplification: Why We Must Translate "Bitcoin Lingo" into Human Language for Mass AdoptionWe are talking to ourselves. Every time we use terms like 'HODL,' 'DeFi Primitives,' 'Sovereignty,' or even 'Self-Custody' without context, we are building a higher wall around Bitcoin and crypto. The user experience (UX) problem isn't just about wallets; it's about language.
Mass adoption requires a complete translation layer. We need analogies that resonate with someone who understands a checking account but has never conceptually grasped an immutable ledger. We need to stop using jargon as a status symbol and start treating it as a critical barrier to entry.
If we want the next billion users, we need an official, simple glossary for key concepts. What's the single most confusing piece of jargon you hear every day that needs to be retired immediately in favor of plain English?
