Bitcoin is indeed risky. But bank investments are risky too. In our country (coz I'm not sure if this exist in other countries). When you have a large amount on your account they will call you and ask you if you want to invest, minimum of 20,000 Php (or 400 USD). They will propose some investment plans where there is a choice of low, medium, or high risk investment. When you choose the high risk there is a chance to lose or gain 100% of your investment (Medium is 75% and low is 50% if I remember it right). It doesn't make sense to me, it sounds like a scam, they will invest using your money and you don't have any control to it. That is why I like bitcoin more, coz Though it is risky and it's very volatile, you have full control on your investment.
What do you guys think?
bitcoin is more risky than bank investment (but it is a risk that i am willing to take). see, bitcoin is disentralized, which makes the government illegalize it anytime since it is somewhat a competition to them. also, you cant buy everything with bitcoin, not like with the flat currency which means u have to still own other currency. another reason is its lack of security.
