These words are not mine, but from someone who always bothered me about crypto lectures, I am surprised that he is giving up, some truth does present in what he said but ....
I guess he is just lazy? Or he want something different all along?
I think crypto isn't for everyone, some won't just be able to cope with crypto investment, maybe because they are lazy asses or they need to be elsewhere to make their money? What do you think about this?
Have you seen people giving up on crypto after they spent some time doing research on crypto and even investing?
Your friend is lazy!
Funny how your friend is saying the opposite of Satoshi saying you have to trust but no, you don't to trust any person in crypto, you should always verify to clear any doubts on your head. It just sad that your friend isn't too prestige with the ways of Bitcoin or should I say cryptocurrency but if he is tired of all he is doing, he can do the opposite and keep his coin on exchanges so he doesn't have to worry about anything but the day the exchange run away with his money, he better shut his mouth and let's that pain sink than what he experiencing right now.
There is no feeling owing everything about your coin to yourself, you don't have to trust anyone to keep your coins, history has shown us that it's bad not trust exchanges and that's why cold storages remain the best. What's the stress in backing up your seed phrase in a safe location? He is better doing other things than been in crypto space.
