We have to stop showing 3BgtSzEpMH6PVwKNhp4MV5ruTFLTvmqmLo to the public. It can't be read/understood anyway.

Only Circle seems to be going down the path of making this user friendly for non-nerds. That is not enough. Now go fix your wallet.
Bitcoin was created to allow the individual user to entirely control their own funds, without control or restraint.
Circle is an exchange and my understanding is that they do not provide their users with their private keys.
Are you saying that for the masses to use Bitcoin/bitcoin, they need not be bothered with their private keys as well?
All I am saying is...
if you show this:
3BgtSzEpMH6PVwKNhp4MV5ruTFLTvmqmLo to computer nerds, they will squirm and giggle like a bowl full of little girls. But if you show that to people - they won't touch it. No matter what.
You can spend eternity trying to explain it - people won't listen. People won't ever use bitcoin if it involves long explanations of where to put / how to handle 'private keys'.
