We silly mortals, believing that our money has to start with something real

The money (Bitcoin) I have in my Faucet Accounts did start with something real, I registered for an account to participate in their website. Then I participated by logging on at the proper intervals defined by them to claim a random amount (defined by them) that was added to my account balance. I also read Paid To Click Ads and responded to Research Surveys that they provided to me for additional rewards if I completed them according to their instructions. If I desired, I could withdraw those earnings, or deposit them into an Active Shares account to earn Daily Compound Interest (like a bank CD) for a predetermined period of 128 days at 0.7% compounded daily and added to my balance. The more shares I earn, the higher my daily reward goes up and increased my balance. I have been doing this ofr a couple of years and withdrawn thousands of Satoshi to my CoinBase account and increased the value of my Active Shares to over One Million Satoshi with which I have purchased Amazon Gift Cards that I exchanged for products and services from their website. I assure you, they are very real.

Just like "Kenneth Copeland's mansions & private-jet etc. prove that prayers really do work"

That is understandable and it's great it works for you. However, I believe that everyone has a different risk tolerance. Perhaps 4 million satoshi to you is worth a learning opportunity, but that amount could mean a lot to other people. Those with little to no risk tolerance may be more comfortable with leaving their money in reputable bank which has a low risk of closing, even if they're only earning 0.000001% interest per year. At least they have that peace of mind that their money will be (relatively) safe.
I also think people are scared to take the first step because they don't want to get scammed (especially with crypto). Sure, losing a couple of satoshis isn't going to break the bank, but it still feels bad to get scammed. Like you earned that amount fair and square, but you're not getting it. It's not a good feeling.
I know when I first started with crypto, I spent a lot of time researching it and picking the best option for myself. What I ended up doing didn't earn me a lot, but it was what I was most comfortable with. In the end, people need to educate themselves and not just jump at the first opportunity that presents itself.
It's like on game-shows, filling people with "regret" over losing a large number of points that they've built up ... I guess when we get older, it gets easier & easier to lose things we struggled to get ... because we realize it was all luck---we're lucky to have gained the things we spent time trying to gain, and we've got all the time we need to gain the things we lose
