Is Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency user friendly?

[Genamant]

The whole thing is very complex for starters but it becomes very user friendly as you grow in it. But one has to be computer literate and that is the problem for many

yes i agree its kinda overwhelming at first for beginners specially introducing them to some exchangers
and seeing those numbers normally makes their mind confused and creates a  retreat impression
but only those eager to learn will come to realize how user friendly it is when you get used to the environment

[BitBustah]

I don't think its difficult to use bitcoin but keeping everything secure can be challenging for a new user.  Its easy to be fooled by phishing sites and fall for social engineering scams.  That is why a large percentage of the population is still better off using banks and credit cards, they can recover stolen money still.

bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies are now very friendly with users, they provide GUI-based services that are very easy for people to do either in transactions or otherwise.

I'm curious to know what the community thinks in terms of how user friendly entering this market is? I know we've come a long way from the days when UX/UI was extremely poor for most companies but are there other areas that require improvement?

All of the areas will be improved. The UX/UI will be better and better. I personaly think that to use of bitcoin is not complicated even children 7 - 10 years old can use it without confusion. But I think it will be more simple and look more beautiful. Many project that build apps that provide ease of transaction to bitcoin users.

Well as for me, it is very user-friendly, I really find it very easy to make transaction through bitcoin. Just learn the basics and your good to go. Besides, with todays advancement, the technology has improved a lot and with those improvements it made it more user-friendly and convenient.

[shesheboy]

here in Bitcoin there will be a lot of technical formats in wallets depending on the address you use.
In general, using it as a simply digital money is quite user friendly, but understanding on its functions is quite complex.

Thats it  .  we should only use our bitcoin/crypto the way they meant to be and that is for a payment use .  learning the deeper technical aspects of cryptos is not really a requirement if your only an average joe that dont have a background on i.t or computer science  .

[izanagi narukami]

Yes, it is because they provide maximum security and simplicity in order to make people safe and secure.

Is it easy to use it ?
For me, crypto should being use only for who already understand the risk of cryptocurrency investment !

[Pattart]

As for me, it's user-friendly but there are just some areas where you should have the eagerness to learn about. People would not have it in terms of investment and mode of payment if it isn't user-friendly. It's causing too much convenience and the blockchain technology is even making things in the finance area lighter. Sometimes, we are thinking that cryptocurrency itself is not easy to use but it sometimes depends on the wallets that we're using.

For its own internal use, how do transactions from 1 address to another address, 1 wallet to another wallet, exchange it to fiat, or another altcoin. it was very satisfying. but for its use as a currency and payment method, many people will certainly differ in opinion, bitcoin is still far from users friendly for payment #IMO

Everyone who wants to study cryptocurrencies must be prepared to accept all risks. when I can confirm this, we just need to learn how cryptocurrencies work and in my opinion it is very easy. Anyone who can access the internet can be sure they can all use cryptocurrencies.

[Adriano2010]

Also i like the way are designed the wallet, when i start using bitcoin 4 years ago i also find easy to use and i learn from here how works and what is confirmation and why we need it, and i also learn at that time what is double spending.

[Cacingkemi]

Of course Since I joined the crypto industry I have been very spoiled with hospitality, especially in the BTC community all the user friendly that I have found from good people and getting friends from the media who share the hobby of doing business in cryptocurrencies. IMO friendly in a broad context.

[bitcoindusts]

For me it is user friendly too. It’s very feature is making it user-friendly, easy to adopt, easy to use depending on what kind or cryptocurrency though it takes more time transacting with bitcoin but still the fact that it is decentralized and not owned by any entity make it user-friendly though there are some regulations like KYC imposed to some but for me with cryptocurrency there is freedom and it makes it very user-friendly

[elisabetheva]

Cryptocurrency is user friendly and at that any one with the experience of how to use the smart phone or computer with an internet connection can carry out transactions on the blockchain it easy fast and reliable to use. A y one with just little knowledge even with out technical experience can use bitcoin.

We already know that the progress that has been made at this time, is indeed true with what you say is clear that crypto is indeed very user friendly and does not require special skills as long as there is an intention to know and learn certainly will not be difficult.

All clearly know, what is certain is that bitcoin will benefit those who invest in it, and many will benefit if you want to study.

[traderethereum]

Yes, bitcoin/cryptocurrency is user-friendly.
People don't have to feel that it is too complicated to learn.
All they need to do is how to make a transaction inside the wallet, learn how to buy and sell bitcoin or other coins.
They don't have to learn deeper in the bitcoin section or altcoin because that will need more information to learn those things.
It is enough if they only want to learn about how to use bitcoin/cryptocurrency, and they will know that it is easy to use it in their daily life.
The important is they need to have a passion for learning because that will lead them to learn more about bitcoin/cryptocurrency.

[worldtraveller321]

user friendly, with more people using, the tech will change and will be made in such a way people can do seemless transactions

Maybe at first, dealing with bitcoin or any other alts is too complex for a beginner. But once they engaged themselves in learning how to handle crypto, I bet they will say that it's an easy peasy task. We all had the same experience of hardship of understanding crypto when we were starting. Everybody starts from somewhere. It is not the case that we already know crypto when we jumped in. So for me, bitcoin/crypto is user-friendly, just give a lil bit of effort of understanding it.

Of course, there are, do you understand that our websites still working on many years old concept called MVC. we are still just making our more cool content managment systems(cms) only. we need to break through the shell and make something more advanced. Maybe Bitcoin developers can do something we are in a new branch of development which is completely new to the world and a lot of eyes are watching us and our development already.

[pixie85]

I thought it to be user friendly since I saw it but I had been working with new technologies before learning about Bitcoin. For someone with no prior knowledge of internet security and very basic understanding of computers it's going to cause problems. It's normal that some people will never learn how to use it just like some people never learn how to drive a car or bake cakes.

What do you mean by asking whether Bitcoin is user friendly? are you referring to the way funds are sent or received on the Bitcoin platform or the wallets used in sending the Bitcoin whether they are user friendly?  Bitcoin has always been user friendly and there are platforms that even provide more user friendly platforms to help users to easily send and receive Bitcoin...

For those people who doesn't have enough experience with bitcoin's purposes, I think it hard for them to appreciate how friendly it is. Yeah I agree that it's far from being friendly to everyone because  adoption doesn't takes place as of now. We're still on our way to implement digital currency towards digital age, which we were diverting traditional money into digital type of payment. If a person is being educated with the system which bitcoin had, probably they'll appreciate 100% for bitcoin.
