His @Plasma most exquisite yet dangerous move, may be that it is making the concept of 'blockchain' itself transparent and even invisible to users.

It has concealed complex concepts like Gas fees and confirmation times, which once deterred newcomers, as if by magic. What users feel is only the pure result of clicking and receiving funds. This is undoubtedly the ultimate victory in experience, and I sincerely admire it— it has finally liberated cryptographic technology from the shackles of a geek toy, making it truly usable. #Plasma

But anxiety also stems from this. When technology perfectly remains hidden behind the scenes, rather than saying users are 'using blockchain', it is more accurate to say they are just 'using a smooth payment function'. This brings about a deep-seated 'de-skilling': we no longer need to understand how machines operate, we only need to enjoy the services they provide. This carefree dependence, while making us relaxed, also makes us vulnerable and passive. $XPL

It has packaged a sophisticated distributed engine into a simple button. You press it, magic happens, but you will never know the principles behind the magic, and you lose the ability to fix it. This may be the most profound paradox of modern technology: the best tools ultimately turn us into the most powerless users.
