As someone who works in a museum, I would like to respectfully challenge the 'consumer first' prioritization. However, you rightfully call out that a need to re-examine web3 wallets while it's still in the early phase of adoption. At the museum, we are discussing how to uncouple the market terms associated with NFTs. For example a "wallet" as a term and skeuomorphic icon, for showing one's digital collection, would not the right term or image for sharing an art collection (unless one only considers it an investment).
Fair! And completely agree re: market terms -- I think we still have time to user in language that's more representative of the value that web3 products bring. I'm really curious to hear more about how you're thinking about this from a curatorial standpoint. Please shoot me a note at h@holyn.co if you're open to chatting!
