So not only is btc a good store of value u can earn interest on your bitcoin holdings. I'm holding btc and eth and gaining daily interest 3.8% apr on the exchange. Hotbit.io I am also doing defi farming on these holdings. So Additional gains about 9% apr.
Let's say I'm holding 500k usd of btc n eth I will earn about 17k$ interest a year.
There is risk involve at how exchanges can exit scam or hack exchanges.
But it is truly amazing to be gaining interest nowadays. When I first started 3 yrs ago there was none of this interest or defi farming.
I can start early gaining small income earnings rather then buying a house for 1 mil in cali and renting it out for 36k a yr minus property taxes to about 24k a yr.
I'm sure this crypto asset will be a golden age. Instead of finding money by holding land. U can find money by holding btc n eth through interest. Just my opinion.
It is true that crypto is and will become the number one investment that can gain you a lot of profit, but of course this does not come at ease, the prices are not always up so if you are saying that you made 17k this year next year the prices might go down and you might find yourself at a loss, the point is the income is not consistent unlike property investment, now that does not mean that crypto investment is not good but it should be a secondary thing that you invest in it for long term and not to fully put you life savings on.
