If I had invested my savings in Bitcoin would it be more likely to be broke? 
Bit of an open ended question, depends on when you bought them! If you bought them 4 years ago no, if you bought them november / december 2013, you might be feeling a bit sick.
I agree; investing in bitcoin at an early stage then awaiting for a rise in its value is something we are all awaiting. Some people are afraid to invest in bitcoin but it requires patience; eventually we might actually 1 Bitcoin being $600. When that eventually happens, you would be pleased to know that you invested in it and your patience was definetly worth it.
