View submission: Don't invest recklessly

Nah mate, most people struggle with computer use. There's a very steep learning curve to buy bitcoin and most people aren't going to struggle through that, unless they get help with it.

As it stands, this is out of the reach of millions in this country, at least. How can someone manage to buy bitcoin with confidence, when they haven't the tech savvy to set up an email account? These people aren't in the minority either.

It's going to have to be made simpler, maybe by integration with standard banks, or by active help with the transactions.

If you aren't savvy enough to set up an email account by now you shouldn't be investing in bitcoin anyways. You can do it all from an app now, so it's even easier. It's no different trying to invest in stocks, in fact in many ways it's harder to do that than bitcoin
