If you can't understand what I've written, then there are definitely people who won't be able to get their head round bitcoin transactions. And that's before they go down the rabbit hole of reading about bitcoin. It ain't 'easy', stop flogging the dead donkey over it. Christ

Well my original comment wasn't even about how easy it is to find an exchange and store your bitcoin. It was about how easy it is to find ways to cut back spending to have money available to invest.

But I still disagree that investing is bitcoin is too hard for most people. Considering "most" people can make a Facebook, they can just as easily go to Coinbase and create an account. Clearly enough can, because the value of BTC is rising and businesses are starting to accept it. If your 80 year old grandma or guy who has lived under a rock for 20 years don't know how to set up an email, then I'm sorry but they shouldn't be making risky investments.

I've known about bitcoin for years but have never tried investing or looking into how it's stored until a few weeks ago. I came to this subreddit, read one stickied post, and had bitcoin 10 minutes later. Come on man
