Supporting crypto adoption and overcoming the barriers in the crypto space
Maggie Valentine is currently head of design for non-profit She256 – she is working to foster inclusive design in the blockchain space.
“Maggie’s thesis is that bitcoin should be usable by anyone, regardless of technical proficiency. Difficult wallet UX shouldn’t determine who benefits from bitcoin. Her plan is to investigate these problems and publish recommendations to make onboarding more user-friendly,” Square posted on Twitter.
She highlighted the crypto’s potential to shape the future of financial infrastructure.
She also talked about the barriers that surround the crypto space and which have to be overcome.
