 Speaking for myself, I think there’s a desperate need for a chronological timeline based guide of how to go from Bitcoin noob with all Bitcoin on a custodial exchange and Wallet of Satoshi to self custodial, private, and tin foil hat mode in a series of baby steps. 
So many people find it so overwhelming they don’t take any steps because the content is so scattershot and unorganized. But a clear “step 1 if you’re on a custodial exchange watch this @BTCsessions  video order a cold card and transfer your stack to self custody, step 2 then transfer from wallet of satoshi to @OpenSecret and setup that for zaps, step 3 then setup your own full node, then try out GrapheneOS on a used pixel phone”. 
Ideally a newcomer would write their journey of how they went through it with common pitfalls to make approachable.
I think that would help a lot. I see in the tradfi world people won’t get started or change because they see “experts” who have it all figured out and it’s too daunting and unapproachable. It’s like expecting people to go from couch potato to Olympic athlete overnight. It’s got to be a gradual journey of many small steps that each are easy enough on their own that people build confidence and momentum.
