Definitely bitcoin is better than depositing your money in the bank, in which in my country they give you about 1% profit annually so if you put 100.000 Euro , you get 1.000 Euro per one year, pretty pathetic don't you think considering I am in a European country. Different with bitcoin , many people think bitcoin is still new and has big potential to raise even more after a few years, so yes bitcoin is pretty safe as an investment and store value of your money. After a few years I am even sure you will see your money growing cause the price of it should be up by then.
