Did you see the videos of Russians lining up all day to try to withdraw tiny amounts of cash from an ATM?

  But I'm not in Russia and it feels I have to do A) huge amount of research B) huge amount of risk / personal responsibility C) and Still trust some or multiple 3rd party services to practically obtain or withdraw bitcoin, which have same or more power or likelihood to cut me off I (think) understand the dream. I don't see the reality of seamlessly easily practically safely cheaply transacting bitcoin. As a mediocre techie, every time I ponder getting some bitcoin for giggle, I get lost in conolex how tos and run screaming away from complexity and risk.

    I find it takes even more effort to continually understand the situation of the traditional financial system and the current status of geopolitics. I don't know when my country could became the next Russia. It's a hostile world out there; effort is required to survive, and risk is unavoidable

      That's fair; but I was talking about strictly logistics of having cash and withdrawing cash, compared to having bitcoin and using/withdrawing bitcoin.
