Skimmed the piece and overall trend is clear for Gen Z (oof nice Tera shot love it) - but I fear metaverses or crypto is fit for mass adoption yet/anymore until builders improve UX and security first and foremost. How do we do this in the metaverse iterations? It's obviously a pretty complex issue. Which builders are working on this beyond social recovery wallets / MPC etc?

Gen Z metaverse and all is cool and it's all fun and games until real people with real lives get hacked real money, with zero recourse nor legislation or really anything that can be done about it.

Unfortunately bad actors have screwed over the very people crypto was supposed to/marketed to help - the disenfranchised, Gen Z, lower income - and millions are left hacked, rug pulled, or as unsecured creditors.

I can verifiably tell you there is a growing segment of society in which anti crypto populism is fomenting due to getting screwed over last year or hacked etc. and they no longer trust it per recent polls.

And if more mass hacks happen due to security flaws like Atomic Wallet - we are talking societal meltdown level stuff if this all goes mass adoption before this is improved.
