The situation has changed a lot with time but still there are areas of improvement, some of the countries are still struggling to find legit companies to purchase bitcoin with ease mainly because of lack of regulation and the banking sector is not that friendly in most of the countries and when that situation changes, there will be a massive adoption. A legit company with a global P2P network would be a great idea to solve these issues as that company will act as a trusted escrow to safe guard and monitor everything.

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?
I am not concern about UI/UX even in the past will be in the future . I am more concern about bitcoin Offchain transaction or segwit implementation so that it will be more user friendly to use it in normal life . For ethereum POS implementation to speed up transction speed and limit maximum supply .
I think Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency especially the many Altcoins in the market right now are available on a wide range of exchanges and it's pretty easy to get on those exchanges to trade - you can get a digital wallet to store your coins on many sites, including on exchanges and more importantly, there have been a lot of upcoming blockchain projects that offer their own digital wallets as well. Additionally, there are new crypto projects and their corresponding tokens appearing every day - and these projects offer to solve a problem seen in for example, traditional payment processes, or for users like us to bypass intermediaries and gain access to a product or service directly without paying extra fees. In general I think once you get past the initial stage of trying to figure out how to trade with Bitcoin and cryptocurrency, and also gain more insight into the many projects and their tokens, it becomes much easier! The only downside to it is depositing and withdrawing fiat from the cryptocurrency you have - but I've also seen great projects that provide debit cards along with their wallets so you can actually directly convert and use the crypto you have at physical stores to pay for items, so if you're talking about user friendly in this sense, that it's definitely becoming more user friendly!
For me and for others, its not user friendly and what I mean user friendly is it is not that easy to understand. Bitcoin is complex for me because of its coding that only a professional programmer or a cryptographer can understand and edit. For us newbie and average people who doesn't know programming, it will be complex.
Now in terms of usage, maybe it is easy for some here because you will just scan the QR code and put the amount and you're done but for those people who doesn't have smartphone it will be hard for them.

I think cryptocurrency is very user friendly, very easy to use, you only need to learn a little about crypto and you will understand how it works
Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency must be used with ease, it is easy to use day after day. Any one can use it through an app if the user wants it. It will be added to the new technology in future. Now it will be easier to use.
I think it's hard for the non technical people to understand cryptocurrency at first but when they do learn about it it will be easy to use and is user friendly. Especially on the number side like conversion of btc to eth to fiat etc, but its easy because we can google it and we can know the conversion instantly.
Bitcoin, as it is, is very technical thus I think it is not user friendly. However, there are many software that caters to user's ease of experience like mobile wallets.
Well it depends on how you use crypto. If you are just using it as a currency for trading with goods or physical items yes it is very userfriendly especially if you are trading with a user on a different side of the Earth. You will just send your crypto within minutes they will received it and then theyll send you the item.
Bitcoin is user friendly, its not hard to used and do transaction using bitcoin, but for some newbie maybe need to get used to it a little, btc transaction system is a bit different with the existing transaction system, it may seem complicated when they saw the long address and people mention the block confirmation but once you got used, it's pretty simple
It's user friendly if you use third party services to guide you. For an example: exchanges. Choose a local trustful exchange to deal with bitcoins. They will have an user friendly intuitive platform in your own language, and if it's not enough for you yet, there will be an online support to answer your questions.
What isn't user friendly are the price fluctuations on the market, it will probably scare you at the beginning, but everything scares a little at the beginning, right?

Yeah, as time went by and by the projects developers kept on learning from the flaws of old devs and are increasingly building more easy to understand and use platforms. For instance, trading started without mobile apps until more recently that we got almost every exchange developing an app to help improve user convenience. So yeah you're right, time has really done us good.
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 #IMOFor 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.

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...
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.
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.
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.

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

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.
