for many people, investing in Bitcoin feels like the most straightforward path since it doesn’t come with the same barriers or complexities as some other financial systems.

Anyone who tends to have this ideology of Bitcoin being a straightforward path as you said has gotten it all wrong, because even though Bitcoin is one of the best , reliable and most open financial systems, it still has certain complexities that cannot be ignored. If it was truly as straightforward am very such my grandmother and grandfather would have gone far in Bitcoin investments by now.

Yes Bitcoin investments may not come with the same stress and piles of paperwork as traditional Bank system, but one still need to be need to understand how wallets work, how to safeguard his/her private keys, and how to avoid scams etc. this is because there is no customer care to call when you mistakely lose his funds. So starting out in Bitcoin may feel simple but sustaining your investment safely is where the real complexity comes in.

You just made a nice point tho, the idea that Bitcoin is some plug and play, set and forge investment is misleading. While Bitcoin removes many frictions of the traditional banking system, it replaces them with a new set of responsibilities......Self custody means you are the bank. That is empowering, but it is also unforgiving. You have to understand private keys, backups, address formats, network fees, and security practices and there’s no reversal button if you make a mistake.

It is this learning curve that filters out those who treat Bitcoin as just another speculative asset from those who truly grasp its potential as a decentralized, censorship resistant financial system. In a way, the complexity isn’t a flaw , it is part of the security and sovereignty that Bitcoin offers... And also try to edit your reply/quote very well.
