I'm curious to know what the community thinks in terms of how user friendly entering this market is? I know we've come a long way from the days when UX/UI was extremely poor for most companies but are there other areas that require improvement?
Bitcoin is really problematic in many things let it be long transaction times or low speed or maybe high use of electricity for mining but one thing in which it is great is being user friendly. Bitcoin core has a great interface which makes transactions too easy. Pickup any private key wallet just a scan of qr code would do the work for you. I don't think there is any problem in a user friendly interface when it comes to bitcoin.
For ordinary users of cryptocurrencies, especially non-English speakers, using bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a means of payment is still a significant challenge. The question is not only just to make a transaction. You also need to protect your cryptocurrency from possible attacks by cybercriminals and this also enters into the ability to use cryptocurrency. There are certain difficulties with the transfer of funds from one cryptocurrency to another. Sometimes for this you need to go to the exchange, register, undergo a KYC check. For young people who spend considerable time on the Internet, this can be simple. However, not everyone spends their free time on the Internet and not everyone has the opportunity to keep up with technological progress. For a significant part of the world's population, the use of cryptocurrency is still very difficult and if it is not simplified and, most importantly, safe, they will not use it.
I think for Non-english speakers whole internet is a challenge. Not to be biased but basically everything on web is in English so language barriers just can never end. With help of google translate you may use translation on exchanges to help you out.
