Some people have no idea how bitcoin works, how to store it, so how can they accept it in their business or convert their wages to it without inducing themselves with anxiety or opening themselves up to vulnerability?
Just buy it through an ETF if you can't educate yourself enough or don't trust yourself to do it safely.
Trusting the very institutions that Bitcoin was designed to cut out should be a temporary solution at most.
I agree partially but you can't have such an absolute view on the matter. I don't think my grandma would be ever able to learn how to safely use and hold Bitcoin, but she can have some exposure in an ETF without an issue. Really, self custody is not for everyone and we should not try to force it. We should just encourage it where appropriate.
