## The Audiance
- May not understand the need for the bitcoin design community or may think its a group of people trying to "change the desing of bitcoin"
- May have a wrong perception of designers and the motives
- Designers are trying to make things too easy, and téach bad Security practices
    - Talking Point: diverse security models and use cases

## Intro of Topic
1. We are designing for a global value and payment system.
3. Usually when we design products, they have a smaller scope of users...
4. With bitcoin we are faced with the challenge of having to design for such a wide variety of personas. Spanning cultures, education and economic backgrounds. Each with their different motivations, frustrations, customs that we as designers may not have encountered before.
5. We also have to figure out how to do so in a way that is non custodial, or at least in a way that minimizes trust —

# Potential Questions
- Story: Finding myself on local bitcoins... 
- There is talk about improving bitcoin ux for everyone but the current demographics is very limited, mostly United States and developed countries, then other parts of the world are again left out of financial tech innovation.
    - Deconstructing Everyone: Localised solutions
    - Even within the same country and same class everyone is different.
    - The current design approach, cannot cater for everyone
    - Diverse security models and use cases...
    - Small scope of targeted auduaince
- What is the Bitcoin Design Commmunity?


## Closing
- Before saying you are designing everyone, really think what that means. Who are the individual.


## Other Questions/Talking Points
- We have a responsibility of what we are putting into the world.
- Another underserved group of users today is new-comers to bitcoin, there is a steep learning curve to use most of today's products. What can we do to improve?
- What can having more designers in bitcoin do for developers and existing projects?
- As a designer, if you could choose the most pressing question to be answered about your users, what would it be?
