One of my side businesses is https://icryptonode.com/ that sells monero-specific hardware and software. Monero is even clunkier to user than Bitcoin for a bunch of reasons, but over the years has been getting easier.
Unfortunately, a lot of the ways to make it easier (remote nodes, fully-synced transaction history by a cloud service) severely curtail the privacy element. But it still makes it easier to invest and transact in, if you aren't super worried about privacy.
All being said, I love Monero, and its community is exceptional. If you go to DEFCON in Las Vegas, be sure to visit the Monero room!
