Retail investors won't flood back into crypto unless launchpads and trading platforms pull off a major redesign. Something so fresh and different that it levels the playing field.

Think about it like this: remember when Fortnite removed pump shotguns? That single change gave casual players a real shot at competing. The skill ceiling dropped overnight, and suddenly more people wanted to play.

Same logic applies here. Right now, the gap between experienced traders and newcomers is massive. Simplify the interfaces, rethink the mechanics, make it less intimidating. Otherwise, retail stays on the sidelines.

To be honest, I really respect the metaphor of Fortnite; it truly hits the nail on the head. But the problem is... the exchanges don't want to lower the threshold at all; those high-frequency traders are their bread and butter. Simplifying the interface? They could have done it a long time ago. Why haven't they done it yet... just think about it.

The example of Fortnite... is indeed a bit far-fetched. Trading should have thresholds; not everyone is suited to play. To put it bluntly, simplifying the interface won't help; the key is still to let retail investors make money. This round has really hurt people badly; what's the use of just changing the UI?

To put it simply, the current trading threshold is too high, and Newbies can't get in at all. The example of Fortnite is quite fitting, but the problem is that the exchange doesn't want to lower the threshold at all. Simplifying the interface? Nonsense, that's their bread and butter. Retail investors want to come back? Unless the exchange is really willing to share the benefits, otherwise, they might as well keep watching from the sidelines. This logic is sound, but who will push it forward at the execution level? Will the exchange do this? Dream on.

To put it bluntly, the current exchanges are tailored for Large Investors, and retail investors coming in are just delivering food. Simplifying the UI can help, but the core issue is the information gap, which cannot be fundamentally changed. The example of Fortnite is a bit far-fetched; the complexity of games and trading is not on the same level. Instead of changing the interface, it’s better to first tackle slippage and gas fees, as these are the real killers. Can it come back? Unless the coin price rises tenfold, money is the biggest motivation. Changing the system is possible, but will those institutions agree? Hehe.

You're not wrong, but the problem is that the platform has no motivation to change; it's still those old suckers making money. Simplifying the interface? Ha, the exchange doesn't want newbies to have it too easy. That example from Fortnite is amazing, but the interests in encryption are too complicated to change. Instead of waiting for the platform to have a conscience, it's better to play on-chain yourself; at least it's transparent. There are too many people, which makes it worse; right now it's a situation of internal competition, and it's hard to recover losses. That being said, retail investors are really just waiting for the chance to be played for suckers; who would dare to come back?
