TradFi (Traditional Finance)
This is our classic: stocks, bonds, ETFs via a broker.
How it works: An old-school process — open an account, complete verification (KYC), add funds, buy.
My experience: Reliable, regulated, but... slow. Buying stocks can take days, and markets run on a schedule. This is the foundation for a long-term portfolio, but without the “wow effect.”
Risks: Market and banking/brokerage risks.
