**2018**

- [3249860-033](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3249860-033) [empirical/evidenced] -- Sixty-six of the top 100 tokens are user facing, letting ecosystem participants handle the token directly, while thirty-four are layered and operate underneath another token, platform, or chain.
  > Sixty-six tokens allow ecosystem participants to handle the token directly. Thirty-four tokens operate underneath another token, platform, chain, etc.

**2019**

- [3396522-036](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3396522-036) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Mass adoption fails at the user level: the average user will not identify, research, and purchase diverse sets of tokens even where those tokens would create value, because the existing cryptocurrency market structure is simply too cumbersome.
  > The average user is unwilling to identify, research, and purchase diverse sets of tokens, even if their application and use cases would create value. The existing market structure for cryptocurrencies is simply too cumbersome for the average user.

- [3406323-021](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3406323-021) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Mass adoption of decentralized protocols will remain out of reach so long as users must discern and manage public and private keys to wallets, because user access and usability fall short of mass adoption needs.
  > It will be very difficult to educate the public sufficiently to seamlessly adopt decentralized protocols in their daily life if users have to discern and manage public and private keys to wallets, among other concerns.

**2025**

- [5095633-027](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5095633-027) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Adoption of decentralized data platforms is blocked by an expertise barrier: prospective contributors must manage tokens, maintain secure wallets, and understand the underlying technology, which deters users unaccustomed to digital assets.
  > adoption is hindered by the user expertise required to navigate blockchain infrastructure. Potential contributors or data consumers are often deterred by the need to manage cryptocurrency tokens, maintain secure digital wallets, and understand the underlying technology.
