Many see the US Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approval of spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a sign of broader acceptance of cryptocurrency assets. But not everyone completely agrees. Robert Kiyosaki, famous investor and author of the best-selling book “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” shared why he doesn't want to buy Bitcoin through an exchange-traded fund.
Preference for self-management
Kiyosaki, as a businessman, Avoids He prefers Wall Street financial products, including ETFs, because he wants to keep the responsibility for his potential mistakes in his own hands. He prefers creating his own financial products because he believes this forces him to be smarter than most ETF buyers. While this is the best approach for him, the question remains what is best for others.
Critical thinking is recommended
While some, like Kiyosaki, prefer direct exposure to Bitcoin without intermediaries, others may find safety in the indirect approach of ETFs. Regardless of the positions in this discussion, detailed research and thorough risk analysis is crucial before committing a significant portion of a portfolio to any asset, be it a cryptocurrency, an ETF or something else.
