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 investing in bank. Simply because if you put your money in a bank it will grow little by little but the bank make sure that you will not loss any of your investments. While, bitcoin, I said it is more risky because you are the one who control your money by deciding whether it is now the time to invest or to sell just like that.Bank is safer if you would look to both sides.
