What has been preventing my friends from investing in bitcoin is mostly not having the financial capacity to do so, the news they heard about bitcoin from the media, bitcoin being illegal to purchase from banks, taking bitcoin as a Ponzi scheme due to its volatile nature.

I understand their reasons for what prevents them from investing in bitcoin, I have had one of the challenges of not investing in bitcoin a few years back due to I have no financial capacity to do so. But thank God that I can do that today without having anything preventing me to invest in bitcoin any longer
