if I buy $100 worth of bitcoin and enjoy using the only decentralized currency in the whole world am I taking more risks than benefits? of course not.
you see everything is a matter of perspective. if you are investing all your life savings and taking a loan to invest in bitcoin and a lot of other weird shit then of course the risks are a lot more than the benefits.
but if you are investing some money that you don't want or better yet some money that you were wasting, like if you were smoking, you can invest the money you were wasting on smokes every day to put in bitcoin. that is surely a lot more benefits than the risks.
Totally agree with you. Maybe some people change their perspective with your example.
