First, we have this one:

This is the reality, that amidst its volatility, Bitcoin's price is actually going up higher and higher if you look at it from a couple of steps back. If you zoom in, there's really a wild price fluctuation. If you zoom out, you will feel really comfortable about HODLing, because there is an obvious price appreciation.

Second, you mentioned about the possibility of getting rekt when the analysis goes wrong or if you got trapped in a whale's decision. In your own words, crypto is just too risky. But what does that really mean? It means Bitcoin's price could rise and fall big time any minute of the day and that it is unpredictable. It is, therefore, very risky to play with its short-term price. But such risk is virtually non-existent if you widen your time frame, say, 5 years or a decade. Which leads me to ask, why should you court risk when there is a much safer and even sure way of making money without really doing anything.
