The Design Challenge of Bitcoin Fees - Christoph Ono (Bitcoin Design Foundation) | Design Week

Show Notes

This talk at Presidio Bitcoin Design Week explores how fee spikes erode trust, break everyday use cases, and hit hardest in countries where small costs carry huge weight. Through real-world stories and global comparisons, it examines how high fees undermine usability, why UX missteps damage confidence, and what lessons can be drawn from remittances, credit card networks, and existing payment rails. Grounded in the Bitcoin Design Guide, the session asks how better design and communication can make Bitcoin fees understandable, predictable, and fair for users worldwide.
