Actually I don't blame him for saying that bitcoin is very difficult to access reason is because he's still a newbie, probably he have not yet figured out what bitcoin investment is all about. of course your first time of being into something everything is going to look unfamiliar in your view and it will be very difficult to access it, which is why learning is very important.
