When a friend wants to get into crypto, what do you actually tell them to do and what has been the overall experience getting them onboarded?
Do you send them to an exchange first or help them set up on a self-custodial wallet?
I remember onboarding friends back in 2021 and it was a fairly confusing process for them, but even in 2026 it's still just as confusing with most wallets and exchanges. Typically I always try to introduce them to a self-custodial wallet first as I'm a big believer in "not your keys, not your crypto".
But interested to hear what others think. Obviously people have different use-cases and needs but I feel that self-custodial is non-negotiable with MPC being an option now. #cryptocurrency
