It is use-friendly but I highly suggest that you read books or watch videos online explaining the fundamentals and basics of cryptocurrency in-order to understand it fully. When I started this forum 2 years ago, I was fortunate enough to have someone who is literate about this technical world. But I went the extra mile by watching videos online and browsing here in the forum to grasp each concept.

Learning how to drive by watching videos or through reading will not make you a good driver, experience does. I also suggest that you attempt to earn bitcoins and do transactions to highly-trusted users in the forum.

Comparing the nature of cryptocurrency platforms in 2010 and 2012 to the current platforms available to new users now, I will say cryptocurrency currently is very user friendly. These new platforms have made it possible that people who are new to the crypto space can easily comprehend the features of cryptocurrency platforms and can start using them.

Back when bitcoin first started, there were few to none websites/reading materials that will guide you along the way. Fortunately, its reputation gradually increased and videos of guides started to rise in the internet.

Bitcoin is a user friendly cryptocurrency I was able to learn all the rudiments of bitcoin without any assistance or input from any individual but internet , I had the opportunity of teaching two of my colleagues how to use and transact bitcoin above all the usage of bitcoin is very easy to accomplished although there other areas like trading and mining that is somehow complex to a beginner.

There is a lot of work that needs to be done around the area of private key management. If you are not on top of the game in terms of it security, like multiple encrypted backups, strong passwords and multiple steps of verification, you soon see that we are far away from your average person being comfortable holding significant amounts in crypto currencies. Its not like keeping cash in a vault, but thats where we'll need to go, figuratively speaking.

I cannot say that bitcoin or crypto currency are user friendly. If you wonder why, because single mistake that you commit will make you vomit especially if you are sending a large number of amount to a wrong address.

Bitcoin transactions are not reversible and this is why I consider bitcoin or crypto currency is not a user friendly. If you want to be part in crypto community then you need to study first especially the basics so you will not loss a single amount of your money.

in my opinion, it depends on crypto users. but in general the crypto world is very friendly and very useful for our lives. on the other side, crypto is used by some people for crime and fraud. so crypto becomes unfriendly from the social side. then. Crypto mining is also not friendly. we need another source of energy. like hydropower and solar power.

Let's be honest crypto is not for your Grandma and Grandpa. They will never ever able to adjust to the new system.

Even most of the middle aged morons don't understand what's going on right now. I'd say at least half of them use their iphones only to check their stupid facebook photos.

Only the millenials and half of the gen Y members will be able to understand and use crypto.

It is not about the User Interface. It is about understanding the technology. Once you get what bitcoin is and how it works, UI doesn't really mean shit.

If you do get to know how the market works, how you can buy and sell safely without being scammed.
If you know how good you can achieve profits and how fast you can make a transaction.
If you are willing to accept you can lose your balance in a matter of seconds with a wrong buy you will be ready to join this new market (since it's a new user we are talking about).
Just make sure you have read everything you need and start your journey into this Crypto world.

From my personal experiences in the crypto ecosystem, I don't really think and see Bitcoin or cryptocurrency as user friendly. I remember my first time trading some tokens i had for Bitcoin on an exchange platform, I lost about 10% of the actual worth of the tokens just because I had some challenges trying to sell my tokens for Bitcoin. Most of the cryptocurrencies require that users have a little technical skills. But I think there are new platforms being introduced into the crypto space trying to bridge this gap.

Yes, most of the cryptocurrency requires a little technical skills before using it that's why it always prefer us to study first and become knowledgeable because on that way we are being aware on how to use it properly and can generate strategies that can help us to minimize those risk of losing a money.

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.

It's not easy to tell since you need to put yourself in someone else´s shoes before answering this question. For us, everything is easy, we know how things work and we are used to it, but for someone who is new, things can be complicated, especially when it comes to keeping and being responsible for their keys. This is why centralized custodial services, where users only need a username and a password, exist.

Currently, No! It is somehow become the biggest problem in the cryptocurrencies ecosystem in term of UX/UI design. Especially older generation who arent keep up with technologies, What we need to do is to make a thing that is easy to access, What I mean is, so the newer generation could one-time taught to them, and hopefully, it is easy enough for them. Nevertheless, it would come to different problems since cryptocurrencies have 'BYOB' motives, it will be hard for them to manage the seeds and private keys.

Although It becomes a significant problem, it doesn't mean, a good UI/UX doesn't exist on Cryptocurrency. IMO, Exodus wallet and Delta portfolio apps really have a user-friendly design. I'd like to see more platform follow their path, even though an improvement still could be made.

To get a real picture its depends if the topics relay on personal or general use in term of all people, start with personal will depend to the level of adapting technology meaning blockchain technology, level of knowledge and capacity to have internet tools, device,wifi or cellular network,
In general isn't user friendly compare to the world engagement on bitcoin/cryptocurrency is not much compared to the populations we have although there are some wallet and exchange tries to simplify the use of it.

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?

Using bitcoin and crypto, is not really that hard, if you are a beginner all you need is a wallet that you can easily sign up to get on one of the online apps like coinbase and blockchain and than you are good to go to start earning some crypto, but as you dive more deeper into this world, you start exploring and learning the ropes you discover more ways that require more knowledge and understanding, for example how to set up an offline wallet and private keys to secure your funds.

Using bitcoin or any other crypto currency is actually quite user friendly. It's just the same way of using Paypal or other payment gateway to send or receive coins. Instead of the email address, you put in the bitcoin address of the user you want to send coins to and just press send. That is it. It can't be more simpler than this!

Not your Keys, Not your Bitcoins

I think that wallet and applications developers have made a very good job lately at improving the UI for both desktop and mobile platforms. You have wallets with simple commands like send, receive, see transaction history, etc. The design of most wallets are modern and clean. I don't know how cryptocurrency use could be made more user friendly to be sincere..
