Yes, it really depends on how a person describe Bitcoin based on their perspective and experiences. If they profited a lot in Bitcoin and called it as a source of profit and some planning to have a long term investment from it so in the future they could have a financial freedom. Bitcoin could really gives a lot of opportunity to the people on how they manage it. But let's not sugar coat it and be biased on Bitcoin there would be a risk involved and won't avoid the losses in the process.
I'm not a maximalist junkie who would judge what you said with disgust but I'm pretty sure that if the goal is to invest in Bitcoin without looking at profit but at financial freedom you can consider it a safe one. I am convinced that it already works and is making many people free especially the unbanked.
