New to crypto , want to sanity check 2 things:
1) Going to put 10k into ETH (despite dip). My attitude is treat this as money I plan to part with; don't think about it until 2-5 years and don't get scared with more dips... right?
2) Coinbase vs Robinhood: I still don't get the "ownership" element. I can avoid fees by using RH, but I don't fully "own" crypto. Apart from security, is there a financial consequence? Will fewer people buy my crypto on RH in the future bc it's not "owned"?

I don’t buy that RH doesn’t have fees. They gotta make money somehow, and they recently settled a big suit over this exact topic. Feel like you’re gonna pay fees either through the execution price or directly for fees.

The biggest thing you’ll miss out on RH - the ability to stake your ethereum. If you aren’t planning on selling for a few years, staking is a good option to grow you eth. Estimates are anywhere from 5-12% per year.
