This is going to come to a surprise to many on here, but at the moment I'd rather have paper (US FIAT) money. It's something that I would be able to actually use in my life with ease, and even though I love crypto and everything I have to be honest about what I think and see.
Plus for the fact that if i was to have bitcoin right now, I'd be paying a very high amount in fees if I wanted to actually end up using this money.
There are so many disadvantages about using physical cash like you can be robbed and you need to always bring your wallet, another thing is that, the value of fiat is not increasing so basically you need to work hard to earn it, while invest on cryptocurrency is already a big thing because the prices is growing as the time goes by.
