I think Bitcoin as a store of value / investment vehicle is a widely accepted use-case. What are some of the friction points you can think of that inhibits even wider adoption of Bitcoin as an investment? Just hoping for some wisdom of the crowd here. A few I can think of is:

- Difficulty in understanding what Bitcoin or cryptocurrency is for the layman (education)
- Poor UI/UX for some exchanges when someone tries to buy
- Poor UI/UX for KYC process that is needed before someone can even fund their account
- Account funding is also a cumbersome pain point that might turn some people away
- Centralized exchange is subject to hacking making storing Bitcoin with them a risk
- Retrieving and keeping Bitcoin in a private wallet is a lot of effort for the layman. Private key management is also high risk.

Anything else? Thanks!
