I know that I sometimes prefer to act instead to research well beforehand and it played against me in the past on a regular basis. That's why I dedicate some small amounts to exploration first.
How is increasing user adoption helped by the increased complexity of what the devs have built in too many cases?
I totally agree with you. The complexity of these protocols will reduce the target user population quite drastically. I have quite a lot of experience with Defi but still I have to learn a lot each time I deal with a new protocol. This one was way more than average :-). We will need to find ways to reduce the complexity to make these tools available to everybody.
From tokenomics point of view, it's very difficult to understand what is happening in the background and how the allocations, minting and distribution is taking place. Everybody says: do your own research... but man you need a phd for that :-)
Hahaha ... Loved this:
Fact! Funny or not funny, but it is all but indisputable.
Why is that?
Well, I definitely have my views on the topic. Which are in a pretty continuous state of being reviewed and refined. To truly even begin to understand, as your posts aptly demonstrates, is not for the faint of heart.
