I have nothing against ETFs or custodial solutions. They have lots of benefits including being recognised and integrated onto TradFi rails. But note that Bitcoin is unique because it's the only mature digital property that's truly sovereign. It has no nationality, it cannot be blocked by a nation state, nor debased, or seized. Only learning the ropes of SELF CUSTODY can deliver this to you. Most of the West has lived in a nice safe bubble since WW2, but as Ray Dalio points out from research spanning 1500 years, stability is a cycle, when that cycle ends you want to a stash that protects you if the world crumbles for a time. Institutions that hold your assets will collapse, governments have and will seize your assets, your family may need to relocate under the chaos. We're late into this cycle, 15% of assets into sovereign assets is the recommendation (BTC and gold).(Willy Woo)
