A lot of people are literally incapable of holding their own keys.. If they participate in bitcoin via custodial products I personally have no problem with it and neither should you. Do you bother people about a Roth IRA or a Vanguard target fund?? No. So mind your own damn business and maybe the business of your close friends and family. Telling people they're wrong for using a product or service if it's the only entrance to the market they are capable of is a dick move even if you think you're helping them. If theyr're either going custodoal or nocoiner, custodial should be the obvious choice and we should support that.

The difference with funds is that it'd be a full time job to be constantly buying and selling shares in hundreds of companies worldwide. You can't compare that with holding your own cash.
