Bitcoin is a fundamental currency. The only need is that you are comfortable with technological gadgets And I'm quite sure you're already familiar with the internet, which is how you came upon this forum. As a result, it does not need any particular abilities. The basic wallet app functionality is all there is to it. Keep your mnemonic phrase/private key to yourself and don't share or display it to anybody.
The internet happens to be the bedrock of all Bitcoin activities and as fast as I can understand once you have an internet and a mobile device one can actively carry out a Bitcoin transaction.
