To me, I have just said some of the most doomer shit. Cope is supposed to be something that makes you feel better about something you can't change. Cope would be "ETFs will fail" or "People will prefer self-custody".

I'm not coping at all. ETFs are a bad thing, and people are diving into them without blinking. All I can ever hope for, is the protection I give to myself. I've been old enough to know that you can't help people who don't see the need for help long enough already.
