you’re right that there are geographic restrictions to what stocks people can own.

i hope this changes over time, but it may be many years or even decades before everyone has access to public equities in the way they have access to bitcoin.

I still don't know if I am better off because I completely skipped tradfi or not when it comes to "investing" / caring about my future more / lowering my time preference.

However, I still have plans to buy some MSTR or RIOT shares (or other public bitcoin mining companies); just for the sake of getting some "tradfi experience".

For example, I realized stocks are not available everywhere. I can't just download any neobroker app and expect that I can buy any stock from there. At least that's what I found out when I last looked into it iirc. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Do you own any public stocks?

Voted for no.
