And that's what makes bitcoin. The freedom from government and the ability to control your own money.
With great power comes great responsibility. Owning bitcoin has it's associated risks which people forget about.
This negligence costs them a lot sometimes and that is why we have to make people aware of the risks first if we suggest them to buy bitcoin.
Wallet and device security is what I emphasize on for any new user in this field. Without them your hard-earned money is open and lit up like a Christmas tree. But a newcomer might not be able to cope up with this pressure of cyber-security which we cannot comprehend. In case they lose money they will blame it on the person who introduced it to them.

I dont feel like bragging but since you brought it up, I come from a work background which is very non-technological and I am an old school jerk, but I am into crypto for like 7years now.
