Just recently I've decided to invest in Bitcoin and have chosen to buy shares in Fidelity's FBTC Exchange-Traded-Fund.

My choice was primarily between Fidelity's FBTC and Blackrock's IBIT. I chose FBTC because I like and trust Fidelity's service and I like their Trading Dashboard features.

Is Buying Shares of a BTC ETF a good way for non-tech new (late-to the game) investors to invest in BTC?

Yes, ETFs are the recommended method for both low tech people and those that are overall not familiar with the practices necessary to secure your Bitcoin. Keep in mind that mistakes with Bitcoin are not reversible, so I highly recommend educating yourself deeply before you try to do self custody with any significant amount. For the time being you are better off joining us through the ETF. Welcome!

I've been educating myself and have learned a whole lot. I'm very excited about Bitcoin's future. The future price predictions for BTC by the experts are mind-boggling!

My advice is to ignore any so called experts and influencers. They don't know anything. Simply by the power of chance someone ends up being correct when there are thousands of different predictions. It is better to use your head and think about these things. There is only 1 thing in the entire existence of humanity that has a fixed supply, it is Bitcoin. Everything else is fake or diluting itself like stuff with collectibles. In an always inflating word where the money printer almost never stops its future looks bright.

As a bitcoin investor, I do not encourage us to invest and store bitcoin through a third party because that goes against its original criteria. But I have to admit that not everyone knows how to use non-custodial wallets, DEXs...so for those who don't have basic knowledge of technology or are not too confident in their ability to hold it themselves. Buying bitcoin shares through ETFs is a good solution.

I see many people against investing through ETFs but we are not in their shoes and we are not like them. We should not impose our thoughts on them.

You just repeated what I wrote in the first response. Roll Eyes
