New investors should consider ETFs as a beginner-friendly option, but experienced investors like Douglas Boneparth prefer to hold bitcoin directly, for more control and security.
It's not ideal that a new investor should buy your bitcoin from ETF, because that's not how bitcoin was designed. If you buy from ETF, you are not in custody of your coin because, they keep it for you. Buying bitcoin from an exchange and transfer it to yourself custody wallet is the best because that's how bitcoin was created to be used, in a decentralized way. It's when you are using a noncustodial wallet that you are in full control of your coins.
