This is exactly what I didn't strive for. In order for people to spend their hard-earned fiat for crypto, they have to be very convinced that what they're buying is worth an investment. If they get some crypto for stuff they do anyway that's a much better way of introducing crypto / Bitcoin to average people.

Because the problem is mostly not getting bitcoin to people in my opinion. The problem mostly lies on the people actually thinking that bitcoin is actually important and could be worth a lot more in the future. If a certain person that doesn't care what bitcoin is gets a hold of some bitcoin through whatever manner, there's a good chance that he/she's going to immediately sell it for some dollars anyway. The solution is a lot more of in the educational/knowledge aspect in my opinion, rather than accessibility.

But don't you think that people get much more interested in something they actually own as opposed to something they could or couldn't buy?

I once gave a small amount of Bitcoin on a paper wallet to my family each as a Christmas gift, which actually triggered them to ask a lot of questions about how that works and what you can do with it. My brother then went to open a Coinbase account and buy some more.
