I never really understood it same as banks where you have very little control over your money and extra bureaucracy to deal with 

Which gets even worse when something bad happens like debanking, financial crisis etc

And when I moved to europe I had to accept hundred of pages worth of terms to start buying which I didn’t

Someone decided I can’t buy them anyway based on my passport

Well here in Mexico it’s kind of different, it’s so easy to buy stocks and people get bored with Mexico stocks so they go to NYSE and degens who wants more APR go directly to crypto as they have the knowledge already, but yeah still not everyone buy stocks but pretty sure people who already bought tend to be more easy to go to crypto

I’d bet it’s the other way because stocks have lots of laws around them and clarity while crypto does not

and these people will be afraid to touch crypto and have a lot more doubts and questions

Really? I thought it was the easiest users to onboard into crypto.
