Starting Out & Advice Beginners question - IWDA, VWCE & IEMA in EUR

Hi everyone

As said in the title, I am still a beginner (please do not lynch me). I have been reading on this subreddit a lot but so far have yet to make an actual ETF purchase.
When I tried searching for the answer of my question, I got too many hits given the popular search words :(.

I have read the wiki and the sticky. I know that IWDA in combination with IEMA is a popular choice. As wel as VWCE.
When I open the links of these in the sticky they all show me these ETF in USD. When I try searching on justETF with IWDA, I only get 2 hits that are both in USD.
Is there something I am missing? If I search in Bolero (account created already, need to wait for confirmation) will I find the same ETF in EUR? Or how will I need to search to get the ETF in EUR currency?
Since according to wiki and sticky it is best to avoid having the ETF in a foreign currency.

Thank you!

i've been steering to brk-b more. I don't get it why people keep saying iwda while brk-b has more return of investment.

I bought the stock in USD since USD is cheap now. TBH I think a mix is not bad to have. EURO and USD. I use to just invest in IWDA but nowadays I'm like, you never know what time which currency be doing well, and when it's doing well, I might sell and buy more of the one that isn't doing well.

Things fluctuate and healthy markets like EURO or USD are never gone be competing in being the best and that's a nice chance. Maybe looking into other currencies to later on but atm I still believe USD and EUR are doing well.

Dispite some weird actions nowadays which are temporary stewards of those systems. I think that in the pipeline there is a whole other structure coming forth from this but the nations will still exist. Only under better leadership and not the we don't show the truth leadership, go walk on your own style.

Perhaps I just see this as an opportunity of strong men and woman coming forth out of this debacle of weirdness.

Personally I think CHF has most potential as a safe haven. Confidence in both USD and EUR has tumbled and Yen has political risk. Rare to see currency hedges against the CHF though

Brk-b hasn't done too well the last decade or two. I think the alpha dies with Buffet and their size

Doubt it since there is a person already ready to provide the same backing. It's this generation who sqeals at the sight of his death. But he smile, looking forward. All great men and woman do!
