There isn't a lot of reality to the idea that bitcoin is "hard". There is such lack of clear one page explanations to get started that people who don't feel like figuring it out are left in the dark thinking bitcoin is wizardry. It's not, that's why we're all exited about how SIMPLE it is. You have 2 numbers associated with your wallet. You send with one number, you receive with another. You protect those numbers like you would your actual cash filled wallet. That's it. If you can understand the grand system of calling someone on your cell phone, you can grasp Bitcoin.
