Crypto people severely overestimate how 'easy' it is to DYOR especially for new investors and non tech-savvy people. And it's about to become worse.

You're a new person and you get into crypto, and you want to learn more, but everyone's throwing around all these weird terms. SEC, Securities, Dex, Cex, gas, bridges... now most of you would immediately jump and say 'Just google it!' or 'reddit is full of resources to learn!'.

And that might be true now, and it was A LOT more true before, but I think we can all agree that for the future, for this new internet that politicians and companies are trying to build, that'll be a lot harder, and that's without counting how already difficult it is for people who aren't very tech savvy. People in crypto severely overestimate the layman's ability to do this stuff, and if we want mass adoption, that's gonna be a problem.

Especially with how utterly shit google has become lately to learn information. Before, you googled something and you got the answer, easy. But now it's all ads, ChatGPT articles, stuff to clog the first page so that people click on them and get confused. And as for reddit... well, we saw what's about to happen, and what might happen in the future. All this free, actually useful info might just disappear in the future, and the internet will be worse for it.

And youtube isn't going to be of much help either. Most crypto youtubers are interested in making money and shilling projects, not informing the public. And the government CERTAINLY isn't gonna pick up the slack.

Let's face it, when it comes to research and looking things up, the internet has become a lot worse, and it's gonna keep going down the drain. So when you tell people to just 'do your own research' and when you dismiss concerns over mass adoption because of misinformation, just remember how difficult it's become, and how difficult it is for the normal non-tech person to do all this.

Have a little empathy, and fight for a better internet, and for better resources for future investors.
