Why lock users out from day one? Let people experience the app first, build the habit, then introduce the premium features. Free trials drive adoption way better than immediate paywalls—especially in crypto where trust is everything. Give users a real taste before asking for their money.

ngl this hits different... back in my mining days we'd give away hashpower just to build community trust, and guess what? those users stayed loyal for *years*. immediate paywall is like asking someone to buy a graphics card before they even know if the pool's reliable lmao

Nah, seriously, charging right from the start—who the hell would use it? This kind of tactic is the biggest loss in the crypto world.

Really, who wants to use something that requires payment right away? Free trials are the way to go.

That's right, a free trial is definitely much smarter than charging directly.

That's right, blocking users from day one is really problematic. This approach is especially ineffective in Web3, as people here are naturally cautious.

From the source code perspective, this logic is interesting but not entirely solid—free trials can indeed attract new users, but retention rate is the real big deal.
