Gotta love how Andreas breaks complicated topics down to the barebones:

#AndreasAntonopoulos is my favorite #Bitcoin explainer.

Whether he's a "shitcoiner" now or not, he's one of the realist and clearest thinkers in the space. He doesn't bog people down with influencer-speak or editorialize the opinion he thinks you should have. He respects people enough to leave room for them to think for themselves.

From a layman perspective, I think if he is using the ticket/vr cruise analogy, then buying etfs wouldn’t be buying the cruise ticket and using VR to participate, it would be buying a VR headset to see what a cruise ship is like. I am hopeful that retail consumers will like the tour and then buy the ticket themselves.
I don’t disagree that’s it’s the worst of the choices but for someone extremely risk averse, who has an inkling of interest in Bitcoin, it provides an opportunity for risk mitigated exposure.
I'll save people 67 seconds of their life to get to the answer: "no."
