I still see security and user experience as the major road blocks to BTC and any crypto.  Right now, it's a complicated mess of expensive devices, memorization of various info and just general difficulty and confusion for managing bitcoin financially.

$100 gadgets and complicated security won't work in the long run.  Have I missed something glaringly obvious here?  Where is the Apple-like user experience for BTC?  Because if it doesn't come... well BTC will never really arrive.

Also, "talk nerdy to me" doesn't really apply here.  This needs to be something discussed in plain language.  Right?   I mean people get that.. I hope.

Awesome, we have a volunteer to create the ultimate Bitcoin user experience!

So, how are you going to attack the issue?

You should probably go through all the most popular wallet options, list their bad points, good points, then lay out how you would make the perfect wallet.

If you make a comprehensive analysis of what needs to be done, and developers see eye to eye with you, then I'm sure someone will volunteer hundreds of hours of their free time to build it for you. (no joke)

But if you sit there and say "oh well, no, I mean... just like, make it better, ok?" or "I think the wallet should have unicorns and microwave popcorn for the user!" then no one will take you seriously.

I'm sorry that you feel that volunteers my not be doing enough to serve your personal interests, have you considered working on whatever you believe needs to be done yourself?

It's not a personal interest.  I speak in the greater interest of all those that use bitcoin and I don't have the expertise to fix this.  I was hoping for rational discussion and that I may even learn something from the discussion.  But your comment was not helpful.

Edit:  oops... just realized you're a moderator.  Hope I haven't offended too much.  But really, I expected more in the discussion.  Maybe this is the too techy side to engage in lay-person discussion.   But I was hoping for someone that could bridge the divide here.

Edit:  and there are plenty of BTC devs that are far more than volunteers.  A lot of money is being made and a lot more could be made if adoption really ever occurs.
