It is best to invest in a field that you are familiar with and research, otherwise,it is easy to fall into the trap. If your parents are senior investors in the stock field, do not invest lightly before you really understand altcoin. The risks and returns are equal.
For those who have experience in certain fields, it is indeed good to do something more useful because everyone will only explore what they already know, after that they will explore what they don't know through investment.
but not all parents will do that. It's a little harder to explain investing in the stock or crypto market to parents. they will be more interested in gold and investing in real assets.
but some of the parents, actually become interested in the crypto market when they see their children make money from crypto investments. Of course, it all depends on how we explain it to parents.
