What is/are your purposes when yu buy bitcoin?
Bitcoin is one type of investment which we can make profit through trading, where as in fiat we can do trading but it's two risky when compared to bitcoin.I am not investing all my money into bitcoin just a spare money which will make me some more money from it with the knowledge i have.
When it comes to trading everything is risky. If you dont have the courage to take the risk then you cant move forward. Even with commodities and other things where you could invest there is always a lost whenever something bad happen and you dont know when it could be.
