The catch with opening the doors is that it also applies to spammers and scammers. There needs to be some cost related to creating an account or they will make infinite accounts. Since it would be unreasonable to charge newbie admission in bitcoins, that cost needs to be human time/effort.

And no, we don't need millions of new users immediately. We can grow sustainably over decades. Sure, the value can drop, but propping up the current price with a stream of new money is not the purpose of this forum.

The Bitcoin software, network, and concept is called "Bitcoin" with a capitalized "B". Bitcoin currency units are called "bitcoins" with a lowercase "b" -- this is often abbreviated BTC.

There are benefits and consequences of both sides.  But as a noob it is nice to be able to get simple and easy to understand answers.
