You can play dice and bet on a x3 game and can triple your $40k in less than a second. Your chance to win will be somewhere between 30% - 33% depending on the casino you are playing on. The best thing is, you won't have to wait at all. It will only take a second. (probably less)
If you invest in those coins (btc, eth, solana etc), you might have to wait months, years, maybe decades and still not get your 300% profit.
Time is money, friend.
I already lost my previous 3 bitcoins in bustabit lol. Not again. I rather wait, with some certainty... better than a 50% 50% chance.
Dunno if he just misunderstood it when you say "safest
bet" or it was only just a joke but I don't think so because there is no smileys in his post and his tone seems to be like he mean it but you just said "safest" and gambling is obviously not safe but its the most riskiest way of making a money. The only advantage it can give to you is that you can instantly multiply your money but that is if you got lucky. It's still not recommended though.
It would be better if will just sacrifice some time to wait because that is more surer. We don't know what are running in the mind of cryptos. Maybe they can just pump hard one day. This is the good thing about them. They are full of surprises.
