Well I've tried but find it all much to complicated and am afraid of making mistakes.
I'm disappointed but somewhat comforted that the trends forecaster Martin Armstrong, doesn't believe Bitcoin has a future. Doubtless we will all be going digital in a few years or less (and paying our taxes on it!). Until then farewell, and enjoy while you may.
The whole process of obtaining bitcoins and storing them securely is very difficult for the average non-techie person. There are going to have to be some killer apps that make purchasing, using and storing bitcoin a whole lot easier before this thing goes mainstream. That is for sure.
Ditto; a senior member on here is tutoring me on how to encrypt Wallet files, and I have absolutely zero experience with high or even lower-medium end computing or programing. All I've ever done with a computer was type and browse the internet; now I'm having to type commands and run security-related processes before I can even START to safely buy and transfer Bitcoin.
I'm fairly determined to get into this, but there really has to be some safe, secure services for Bitcoin that are easy to use for the man on the street.
