i think is Bitcoin is safe in my opinion as compare to paper money because no one is stolen your money, you can purchase goods in safe mode
If keeping it safe from being seen by anyone, it is safe, but how long? we never know, bitcoin price moves very fast. I think it should be half fiat and half bitcoin if he want to keep, who knows what the price of bitcoin maybe. and might fall, so its better to be wife, put half in wallet and half in fiat.

Bitcoin is pretty safe to use and I have never experienced any problems with it. So I suggest that if you want to mae some money Bitcoin is a way that will help you with it.
