Bitcoin ecosystem today is far from friendly. There are tons of scammers everywhere, one can mistype an address and lose money, put a wrong GAS amount and lose money, forget private key and lose all money.
What we as pioneers should focus on is user experience: new people should feel more friendly when start using Bitcoin. The interface of the apps should be more intuitive and less scary. We should create an ecosystem with a strong scam defense.

Newcomers got used to smooth experience working with bank apps, they feel secure talking to their accountants and support managers. What my non-tech-savvy relatives feel when they start working with Bitcoins is "WTF?".

Without a UX breakthrough, Bitcoin will remain a toy for geeks, not a product for masses.

Mistype an address?There is a copy-paste function in every computer.Do you write your bitcoin addresses character by character?If yes,i`m pretty sure that you will type the wrong address.People just copy paste the bitcoin addresses.
Forget private key?You should have to write down your private key and keep it somewhere safe.Is this so difficult?
"Scammers are everywhere".That`s why i don`t trade with people without any big positive feedback from other traders.
I don`t have any problems with  the bitcoin user experience.All the newbies whould learn.
