Speaking as someone who is reasonably capable at navigating around crypto I would say that in general crypto is far too complicated for the average person. If you say OK there is a thing called Bitcoin, that’s fine. Then you add that there’s a second one called Ethereum, that does some different stuff that’s also OK, but you’re pushing the limit. Then add literally infinite chains, subchains, tokens, networks, wallets and whatever else and it becomes genuinely mind-boggling and too much for any ordinary person, who will most likely just revert back to their Chase Bank accounts which they can trust and don’t really have to think too much about. Until and unless the whole thing becomes simple and intuitive, with a limited set of reliable options readily built into things that people are already familiar with and want to use in general, it will remain sort of a niche speculative asset.

I completely agree 💯 I've been into crypto for nearly a year and still don't understand many things. For example bridging is not at all simple and it should be more automated. When bridging assets using third party bridges I'm never sure if I'm gonna lose everything until I see my funds in my wallet. It's a scary few minutes for me even though I never handle more than a few bucks.

Dude bridging and switching chains in metamask is such a monumental pain in the ass. It just becomes so needlessly confusing that I hardly ever mess with crypto outside of my Fidelity crypto account. At least they make it easy to buy and hold.
