If you are absolutely right but you also have to know that there are people who tell others that they put your money in bitcoin and when it increases in price you sell it and it is not like that, many people for lack of knowledge tend to see it difficult because they are not educated to see tutorials and read a little
Tutorials on bitcoin are quite everywhere on the internet for us to properly educate ourselves and make it friendly for the world is really changing and we need to grow with this new financial system.

What kind of "User-friendly" do you mean? Its utility? Well, Bitcoin maybe not perfect enough moreover it is not used yet for payment transactions around the world, only limited to several companies or parties that accept BTC as payment. But, what I understand from your point is not friendly yet seen from its user. Well let's say this: ...However we are far from that. One thing that I am finding is Bitcoin is still not user friendly enough. Many people even who are young like 25 and under and even over 25 etc. Are not tech knowledge or financial educated enough to understand. ..
I do not know what happens in your country, but in my country, there are a growing community and many more people who are involved and interested in Bitcoin. As for what, I experienced in the past, yes I can't understand Bitcoin because it is a new technology for me. But, does it mean that I can't? NO! I will never be able to understand about BTC is I don't learn about it exactly, don't read about the information of BTC, and don't follow about the BTC progress. If I don't do so, I will never know and understand about BTC. So do the other people out there, I am sure that if they do learn and try to understand about BTC, they will really know about it. So, it relates to how we personally stare and concern about BTC itself. But of course, it needs our involvement again to share more about BTC to many more people and ware of BTC.

Bitcoin Not User Friendly Yet
Thoughts
Most of people now do own smartphone and i can say that it is much more complicated rather than on understanding on whats bitcoin is all about. People doesnt able to get on how digital currency work just like on typical credit cards or what.For sure they would already have the idea and also if you are tending to tell someone about it then the very basics will really be not that hard to explain and no dumb person wouldnt able to understand unless if you do talk about those people who are completely illiterate both reading and writing but for people that do even study on elementary or highschool will able to scope up on whats bitcoin directly on simple explaination.

I feel you and that is what I thought before but it was changed, and if you just open up your mind and try to understand its role definitely will change also your insights. It was not an instant learning, in fact, it takes months for me to do it, possibly it makes you hard because you just giving up. I understand that it needs those technologies, but if you wanted to have a change in your life, just like having a new phone then you'll have to find a way.

No wonder based on data that the majority of Bitcoin users are under the age of 40, and all Bitcoin transactions must be done online. This proves that Bitcoin is not user friendly, especially for old people who find it more difficult to understand technology, definitely more difficult to understand about Bitcoin. So it takes a lot of education and promotion related to Bitcoin, so many people will understand Bitcoin. Although really understanding Bitcoin does take time. But I believe that over time people will find it easier to use Bitcoin.

Maybe people find it difficult to understand the true meaning of bitcoin, the way it function, the backing technology and the process of mining and all. In terms of accessibility bitcoin applications were much user friendly. Maybe the users find it difficult just because of its value. A small mistake can lead to big loss as it is a one way transaction system.
Earlier when Android phones reached the market people find it different and are used to the keypad mobiles. Later the continued usage made the people get used to it. Same is with the Bitcoin and associated applications developed for its usage. When we start using it'll be much easier.

Bitcoin is still in a Beta phase as more issues araise, the earlier it could be developed to a more user friendly way of payment like paypal. As we now, Bitcoin recently has been gaining popularity, and thus congestion has become a big problem but it has been solved. Although, you need good tech understanding to atleast use the second layer solutions. Its good while Bitcoin is in semi adopted issues like this gets, called out for in the future gets more GUI.

There are still lots of people who doubting how everything works around this industry, those who are not ready to take time learning the system are surely having a hard time. As it's really new to them, from those things that you have mentioned, it's not easy to convince a person where he / she really don't know nothing about the system/chain. Earlier when Android phones reached the market people find it different and are used to the keypad mobiles. Later the continued usage made the people get used to it. Same is with the Bitcoin and associated applications developed for its usage. When we start using it'll be much easier.
That's a good comparisons, with continue use and continue progress bitcoin along the way will also be embrace as another alternative currency that will co exist with the current fiat system.

Yet reliable and good for investment and earning profit. No wonder that even how bitcoin is complicated especially at first try but people tend to love because they can earn on it especially in investing on with bitcoin. This is why others are motivated taking advantage on bitcoin market price volatility.
Yet, bitcoin market price volatility is could also be risky especially if one does not know when to invest in bitcoin. In bitcoin investment one should know when to invest or not and when to sell or hold. These are the key factors in bitcoin investment.

I remember the first time I used the social network facebook, I did it on the recommendation of a friend. If we recommend a friend, family member and people around us to use Bitcoin, we could gain more users. And so people could use Bitcoin easily and safely in their daily lives. In my case, it has not been easy to make people around me understand because they are rooted in the traditional banking system and Bitcoin is unknown or afraid of risk.

Bitcoin Not User Friendly Yet ~
Maybe bitcoin is not getting user friendly or beginner friendly because if you have no perseverance as a businessman/woman then you are just going to waste yourtime with it and it will only make you spend money for nothing because bitcoin is not a playground where anyone can enter since it is very complicated and you have to be a better trader or holder if you want to survive. Every businessman/woman has a characteristics of having a long patience. Its too hard to give an introduction to the people who want to join bitcoin but they don't have a will to learn. The bitcoin becomes a user friendly to those people who already know the use of it because they already experience the different benefits of it. (AFAIK there is a thread tackle about the benefits of the bitcoin). If you are just a newbie you need to learn with different things better to understand at the start or the core the bitcoin so you can follow the next generations of improvement wit the use of it. Right now the bitcoin takes a lot of adaptation came from different establishments also recently there are different bitcoin atm to make more convenient to withdraw the funds.

Bitcoin isn't easy in use for most people, but simplifying it isn't the solution. We should educate people about Bitcoin, so they will be able to understand and use it.

First thing that I look, bitcoin haven't been accepted by young people is we have to look the utilization of bitcoin itself. As we all know bitcoin was created for payment system but since our government hasn't been able to accept payment system using bitcoin then there will not be many people who will know it or using it. Unless, if the government accept bitcoin as a mean of payment mothed then I'll bet there will be many people who use it especially young people.
The second thing, in my country especially just a few young people who have an investment place or their mindset have known that investment is something that should be had/done. Because they can't rely on to make money from their work only, they should have another income for daily life. I think for those who have an investment place they will have or at leasf know what bitcoin is. But as of now, in my country just a few people who have an investment place, most of them just underestimate investing.

i can see what you mean by not being "user friendly" but in my opinion the problem is mostly with people's laziness rather than with clients being not user friendly. take Electrum for instance, it is a very easy wallet to use, it is safe and is as user friendly as it gets. but the user still has to make some effort, do a little search and learn what bitcoin is, what fees mean and how they are calculated, how to secure their wallet/create backups safely,... this won't take more than 10 minutes but when they don't make this effort and all of these simple things are new to them, they will have a hard time working with such as simple wallet.

If they don't want to learn about bitcoin and don't have a passion for knowing a new thing, we can't do anything because that will depend on themselves. But we can inform people about bitcoin and explain why bitcoin can be a solution to be used for the payment system, a source of income, or an investment. The rest will be up to those people. Young people keep busy playing with their social media, but I am sure some are open-minded with something new and make them curious. Young people are trying to know more about bitcoin, especially if they can find that bitcoin can help their life in financing. Yes, we still need to educate people and spread more about bitcoin in many places to hear and know, and they will want to learn about bitcoin.

Bitcoin isn't user-friendly because there are no wallet apps that can be trusted. This excludes an entire class of mobile users from using bitcoin. We do have Electrum for Android, but what can I use on my iPhone 6s for example? I don't trust BlueWallet enough, much less the closed-source alternatives.
Electrum is a trusted wallet, and one of the things I always wanted to do is to make an iOS port of Electrum, but I'm at so heavy odds that this is just wishful thinking. Take for example the IDE. Without a Mac I could do XCode in a hackintosh VM and then upload the bundle to a third-party service that tests it on a cloud iPhone, but I'm not in a financial position to justify paying the $200/year developer fee (by credit card) just to list it on the App Store. And you can't simply sideload these apps on an iPhone because you have to reinstall them every week.
So it's a matter of who is able to take control of the mobile app development.

Electrum isn't that user-friendly tho - at least not the desktop version of it. A newbie-friendly wallet means not having many very important functions. Most of the confusion comes from stuff like the choice of having lower/higher fees, multiple inputs/outputs in received/sent txs etc. We aren't used to controlling everything about our transactions, because banks do it for us. It just can't be both newbie-friendly and keep a very basic and intuitive UI while having all the functions a wallet should have. The best thing one can do is probably create a wallet that has those kind of tips you get when you first set up a new smartphone.

It won't be the first time I've said that Bitcoin's not yet as easy to use as it should be, and I don't know the compromise for some of the things central to the idea of Bitcoin like keeping your own private keys (really, it's not easy, explaining it for the first time to people, so it's a whole mindset thing in the end).
But a couple of things I think would really make things easy, based on the complaints I hear a lot: fees. Make it dumbfire to pay a fee. If you need to ask the user, ask them how long they would like the fee to confirm in. approx 1 day? ASAP? And then make it so they never overpay a fee.
Second, a way to allow the client to check the sent address is the intended one. Forced QR scan could be one on some, but surely another way to do this? Can't count the number of times I've heard people cry over wrong sent addresses. It's of course solvable by asking to double and triple check but usually too late by the time you get to tell them.

Bitcoin Not User Friendly Yet
I am thinking that even the apps out there are still confusing for people to use. Sure many people may own a mobile phone but many do not understand how they work.
Yeah actually i am one of those,i have a High Performance Mobile but don't really understand everything about the apps or the features because what important to me is i can use this in my daily base needs. Therefore many people do not understand Bitcoin and seems too complicated still.
What are 5 things you think are needed to make Bitcoin more easy for people to use.
More less they can use and move Bitcoin without really being mindful of what they are doing in a transaction.
Thoughts
The main thing that Bitcoin need to be more easy to people?is the idea that this will be accepted of their own country so the Bitcoin and also altcoin will be promoted normally and will be studied and learn of each people.

It is true that bitcoin is not user-friendly yet, I mean it still seems complicated to laymans. The use on everyday basis is so inconveniently difficult for only those who haven't given much thought to even why bitcoin was actually created. They don't need it, they don't understand why they should use it instead of "convinient" credit/debit cards. That's the main problem. In order to "want" bitcoin, you have to comprehend its usefulness first. The other problem of bitcoin, the reason why its developers aren't focused on user interface improvements is because bitcoin is still far from technical excellence, there are many problems in bitcoin that need to be solved to be completely sure that the time to attract users by shiny, flashy interfaces has come. Security (perhaps privacy) of a decentralized system goes before interfaces. After all, what is the point of building interfaces when the system itself is not perfectly polished.
