Anyone ever got the feeling that Bitcoin is too complex for the average person? The average person wants things as simple as possible, so when the word, Blockchain, Decentralization, etc, come into play, I feel that makes it too complicated for the average person to understand or even care.
I am inclined to agree. For most, the process of downloading a wallet, installing it, allowing the blockchain to download and take up 20+GB of space, then trying to figure out how to secure it, and acquire Bitcoin, is daunting and intimidating to them.
However there does seem to be an influx of services and even technology built on top[ of the blockchain, that is aimed towards the 'average joe' and adapting to their needs. Things like Bitpay take a lot of the hurt out of the process for non-technical minded folks, and wallets like blockchain.info and even electrum also absorb some of the brunt.
Maybe over time the core Bitcoin wallet will evolve into a much more user friendly experience, and maybe more technologies will be created to make buying, selling, using and trading bitcoin as simple as a few clicks and easy enough for my grandmother to use (she is so technically-declined that she used to think that her dial-up internet would interfere with her tv shows, so she would never let anyone in the same room as the computer when her show was on).
