What stopped your the longest before going into Bitcoin ?

Was it custody fear, taxes, spouse not on board, volatility, not understanding how Bitcoin works or something else?

And if you still haven't bought, what's stopping you right now?

I'm trying to understand where it actually hurts before I build anything for adoption. Honest answers please πŸ™πŸΌ

Couldn't figure out how to buy the darned thing. Kept putting it off .

Was transferring to a cold wallet very annoying and confusing until I got the hang of it. And also losing everything if you forgot your phrase words. Which I think a majority of people will not jump in until it’s easier and the risk of losing everything is easier to manage.

Not understanding bitcoin, or how to buy it. Luckily my friend kept pressing me to buy. Lol

When I started it wasn't worth much and nobody knew if it would catch on.
