We have to make it so simple that an 80 year old grandmother can do it. It might be easy for us, but not so much for the electronically & technologically challenged.
This is onne of the reason's I think social media platforms like #SoMee & #STEEM will be important to future growth industry wide. Projects with built in wallets, that are easy to use will be the future. I think that was the appeal to so many people with the Facebook Libra project.
When an 80 year old grandmother in NY can send her 12 year old grandson in California $20 for his birthday with the click of a button and it is as easy as sending an email, that is when we've succeeded.
Throughout internet history, we've seen the recipe for success repeated over and over again....
AOL repackaged the internet and brought it into almost every home in America. Email, newsgroups, chat, surfing were all prepackaged into a cute, nicely wrapped package of software.AOL offered a friendlier, easier version of the internet to normies. One click software with everything included.
Facebook took the social aspect of the internet to the next level. Creating a walled garden that made users feel safe sharing their personal data with the world. Obviously a false sense of security, but none the less they succeeded.They then built that into games, chat, messaging etc.
Crypto needs that all in one package that brings everyone together, normies and nerds and makes crypto easy to use for everyone!

When I've asked some friends why they do not use Steem one of the reasons they give is that it's complicated. Unfortunately we need those long keys to make it secure, but good apps like Keyring do help. Steem has had issues with people accidentally making their keys public and we have to minimise that. We need good developers to help mke it easy.

Industry wide, this is a huge problem. So many people downplay this issue, but public and private keys, and complicated interfaces keep people away. There is no easy solution, but the average person can barely remember their Windows or gmail password. Not knocking any one group, but this is a hurdle the industry has to realize and figure out a solution for.

Password managers and keyring apps are essential. These keys cannot be memorised and copy/pasting is dangerous.
