Just as confused as everyone else who got into bitcoin at any point. Or should I say crypto?
My stance is that we all start somewhere, so people buying into the bitcoin ETFs is better than nothing at all because as I said: we all started somewhere right? None of us became toxic bitcoin maxis over night, I would say. Except @DarthCoin maybe, lol
When I started with BTC (2012), none of these crap ever existed. Was just Bitcoin. Of course I wasn't distracted by shitcoins and scams.
Is all about how and when you started and keep your focus only on what matters.

Then you're special but I got started with Coinbase and I thought it's an investment.

I never opened a Coinbase acc for me. First time I saw it, something told me that is fishy.
In 2015 a friend of mine came to me happy that he opened a Conbase acc.
I told him to be careful that Conbase is the enemy of Bitcoin and should close it and use many other sources to get some BTC.
He scream at me that I am crazy and only spread FUD etc bla bla...
Later I sent him this list with points about Conbase...
Only after years he came back to me and said: you were right all along, Conbase is the enemy.
Like I keep doing nowadays, warning people about many other scams and dangers.
Why?
Because I have a very good sense of detecting bullshit and I pay attention to many details.
reply
But the question is: would he have gotten into bitcoin at all without Conbase?
I'm not saying they are not the enemy, but they are also doing us some favors on accident.
reply
At that time were already many good places to buy some BTC, for example Bitstamp.
reply
He still picked Conbase for some reason though.
