The biggest barrier to Bitcoin adoption isn't technology—it's economics. With BTC trading at elevated price points, full coin ownership has become a luxury for most. Think about the numbers: how many people in your circle actually hold a complete Bitcoin? The reality is sobering. While fractional ownership through spot trading or platforms helps lower the barrier, the psychological weight of "owning 1 BTC" still represents a significant entry point for average retail investors. This accessibility gap might be Bitcoin's most overlooked challenge in mainstream adoption.

This psychological threshold indeed exists, but according to the data, now is actually a good opportunity for low-cost accumulation. Looking at the growth curve of the computing power network, institutions have already been quietly accumulating.

To be honest, there are really only a few people in my circle holding a complete coin... most are just playing with fractions like zero point something coins, but psychologically it just feels a bit off, haha.

It's all about the price. I really don't know many people around me who can hold a full Bitcoin; the psychological barrier is just too hard to overcome.
