i think no. There is no such thing as a safe investment other than, perhaps Treasuries and even those are unsafe if the US Government collapses. Property values tanked from the peak in 2006 very quickly. Those who bought at that time, might still be under water.Cryptos are all about the price bought in at and the knowledge of one who is investing. Is there the risk of loss? Absolutely just like any investment. Kodak and Blockbuster ended up bankrupt. At one time, those were Wall Street darlings.There is a lot of junk out there in crypto just like in the OTC stock world. One needs to be smart, do research, and only play with money he/she can afford to lose. Do not put the mortgage or rent check into crypto (or any other investment). Yet people still do that at times.
