2x2 Matrix
Based on insights gleaned from gaps in the above 2x2 matrix, I identified five design requirements for older members of the BlockFi product family.
Displaying market analytics for individual coins & users' portfolio.
Personal data seeming disjointed, not flowing like a narrative.
Needing to use a third-party authentication app daily when logging into the app.
Time delay of up to 24hrs after sending over first transfer to wallet.
Lack of video explainers similar to competitors, e.g. Coinbase.
Combining insights from the 2x2 matrix with my analysis of the existing BlockFi mobile app experience surfaced specific recommendations for action in a mobile app redesign.

Telling Your Crypto Story
Combining the desire for a strong story with crypto analytics to address recommendations described earlier is as easy as developing a strong and meaningful user journey.
Well, what does this all mean?
From my analysis, I would recommend that the narrative structure of the BlockFi app must be flexible enough to encourage users even when their story paints a less positive picture.
Striking a balance between accurately portraying the value of their assets, and providing education and encouragement for the future is critical to these users.
We should also be able to celebrate wins with the user without over-promising results.
