Anyone should be able to learn. To me, the key is to start small enough that it doesn't even make sense to get a hardware wallet at first. Just play around with like $20-$100 worth self-custodied on a phone app. Practice sending corn to yourself and/or back and forth with a friend. Practice wiping the app from your phone then recovering everything with your seed phrase. If you fuck up, you did it before you even had a devastating amount to lose. None of this is all that difficult. Once you feel comfortable, you will have developed a pretty good tool-set for now knowing when it makes sense to switch to a hardware wallet - or maybe you will conclude that 3rd-party custody is what would work best for you... the point is to put yourself in a position to make an educated decision regarding your personal situation rather than just blindly going with someone else's recommendation. If you're not willing to put forth even this minimal effort, you should probably just stick to ETFs if you want any exposure to Bitcoin at all.
