I have found that the tech and language barrier are simply too much to handle for mine, more than ideological principles or lack of understanding.

Even the ones who are my age or younger just can't handle the complication of getting BTC from an exchange, let alone P2P. Self-custody? Even less.

So, from start, actually operating with BTC is totally out of the question. Lightning network? Get out of here.

Which, of course, makes using BTC as a long term store of wealth to eventually maybe even borrow fiat against, just completely unimaginable. 

 Yeah, there’s a tech barrier for sure, but also a severe lack of understanding in my experience. This varies from person to person, of course.
