Or am I overthinking this, and the wider adoption benefits totally outweigh this concern? What's your take? Does mainstream access come at a cost to the core Bitcoin ethos?
https://example.com/etf-custody-debateETF definitely helped in making bitcoin more accessible and understandable to the general public. It might be better for those who are not so tech savvy and would need other's assistance but this was not how bitcoin was supposed to be. There is some hope in me that over time, people will just switch to non ETF bitcoins.
