Bitcoin is a lot better than putting your money in a bank without any guarantee of its safety.
And that is the same with Bitcoin.
You can't always guarantee the safety of it in your wallet especially if you have a little knowledge about securing it. Hacks and scams always happen and if you are unaware of it, I think it is better for you to save your money in the bank. Another thing is that we never know when it will drop and when it will pump.
It is more of a sepculative asset than a way to "save" your money.
