I believe it is always better to invest money than hoarding it for a number of reasons. Primarily the investment enables other entrepreneurs to take your funds and build something of value. it contributes towards employment generation, research and development and so forth - things that take us forward as a species. Additionally, it helps you save your investment against inflation.
Wow this is like the definition of investment.
True that it is better to invest money. But through this kind of move there is risk. Well it depends on what you are investing and where. Through bitcoin there is a risk of it going down so better buy if it is low.
