True but people that are losing millions holding Bitcoin is due to their impatience or carelessness to buy and keep their Bitcoin in a wallet they have access to the seed phrase. Also majority that have lost their Bitcoin was due carelessness to keep their seed phrase safe from where it can not be accessed or hacked by someone else.
The advise I used to give people when they want to invest in Bitcoin is to make sure that they keep their seed phrase safe and never keep their Bitcoin holdings on a centralized exchange. Lack of safety concerns can make an investor to lose their Bitcoin and it should be necessary for newbies to learn how to keep their wealth safe before ever investing in Bitcoin.
