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?
For me of course the bitcoins because as we can see the bitcoins price are volatile and as of now there are a lot of people that are panicking because the bitcoins fall into almost 6k and still having a hard time getting back up so that means the bitcoins have more risk to lose your money that in bank because banks are stable especially if you invested into a gray bank. Maybe they have low interest but the money is more likely to be safe. But in bitcoins if you dont have a lot of patience you will never gain.
