#Bitcoin Q&A: Wallet design and mass adoption


What conditions should the ideal wallet meet in terms of security, privacy, and fee estimation? How important are UX/UI design to mass adoption? Should we compromise decentralisation by using centralised custodial exchanges?

These questions are from the MOOC 9.4 session which took place on March 9th, 2018. Andreas is a teaching fellow with the University of Nicosia. The first course in their Master of Science in Digital Currency degree, DFIN-511: Introduction to Digital Currencies, is offered for free as an open enrollment MOOC course to anyone interested in learning about the fundamental principles.
