Billionaire Arthur Hayes Claims Average Crypto User Prioritizes Ease of Use Over Decentralization – What Does This Mean for the Industry?
Crypto billionaire Arthur Hayes believes that the average user of crypto attributes greater importance to ease of use over decentralization, raising questions over how this factor could impact on users' behavior and future crypto adoption.
“At the end of the day, the average person doesn't actually care about decentralization or centralization,” the former CEO of crypto exchange BitMEX said during a podcast hosted by Decrypt.
“If you want to actually become your own financial institution and take control of the destiny of your finances, that's there for you to do at this point, [but] it's harder to use,” according to Hayes.
In his opinion, rather than being a decentralized currency, what will make crypto attractive to a rising number of users across the world is a "good price, good product, good user experience,” said the entrepreneur.
“That's all the majority of you will care about and will care about in the future,” according to BitMEX's former CEO.
At the same time, Hayes said he believes that the crypto sector has the potential to save investors from what he described as a broken banking system. The billionaire stated that the traditional finance industry’s rapidly rising use of debt has long become detached from its past utility.
"I don't care if you're capitalist or you're a communist. Everybody put on a lot of debt. We've passed the point where that debt is becoming useful," according to the businessman. “If you look at the global fiat system, we’ve piled on … like two or three hundred percent global GDP into debt over the past fifty years.”
"And therefore, everyone is going to take an L unless they get some crypto or some gold—some hard asset that's outside of the traditional banking system,” Hayes said.
