I’m confused, you didn’t respond to the person’s argument. Way to go missing the forest for the trees. “Normal” is the >90% that hasn’t even heard of key signing and no amount of screaming at them will convince them to care.
No, you’re the one who is missing the point. An ever-growing number of highly engaged young people are using wallets and engaging in key signing without even thinking about it. And what those people do today, becomes the norm tomorrow.
I had meetings with newspaper executives in 2007 where I told them “everyone will get their news on Facebook soon.” They couldn’t understand what I meant, because they didn’t think “normal” people would ever use such things. A lot of comments on HN regarding web3 remind me of those conversations. This will all be so embarrassing in 10 years.
There are lots of things that highly-engaged young people have done that don't catch on in the long run. Given the problems that Web 3 has, I see it as a lot more likely that Web 3 will go the route of fidget spinners than the route of Google.
